Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common congenital infection. It is the second leading cause of sensorineural hearing loss after genetic causes and the leading cause of motor delay. It can also cause ophthalmological or biological abnormalities (hepatic cytolysis, thrombocytopenia, etc.). Currently, routine screening during pregnancy or at birth is not recommended. 90% of infected infants are asymptomatic at birth. However, 10 to 25% of them present with hearing loss at birth or will develop it in their first years of life. This hearing loss is progressive. In the context of deafness, detecting congenital CMV infection helps explain the cause of hearing loss (a recurring question from parents) and allows for tailored management and follow-up (progressive deafness, bilateral involvement). Its detection also enables appropriate pediatric monitoring (neurological, ophthalmologi
