Congenital cytomegalovirus infection presenting as massive ascites with secondary pulmonary hypoplasia. 1985

J T Stocker

A unique presentation of congenital cytomegalovirus infection occurred in a premature infant who had massive ascites of undetermined etiology. The ascites, apparently present since early gestation, had compressed the thoracic cavity by elevating the diaphragm, resulting in severe pulmonary hypoplasia.
