All the signs points to TORCH complex. Toxoplasma gondii known to cause intraventricular calcification. Rubella - cataract and deafness CMV - hearing loss But I'll go with Toxoplasma bcoz of the classic traid consisting of chorioretinitis, intraventricular calcification and hydrocephalus... What is the correct ans..???
I had a question that was along the same lines as the one posted.
A newborn has multiple hemorrhagic cutaneous lesions and does respond to auditory stimuli. A CT scan of the head shows periventricular calcifications. Which of the following did the newborn's mother most likely develop during the first 16 weeks of gestations?
A) A 3-day rash
B) Generalized lymphadenopathy
C) Painless genital ulcers
D) Transient arthralgia
E) Vesicular genital lesions

I think I'd choose "B. Generalized lymphadenopathy" as well - the innocuous "flu-like symptoms" that seem to go with everything. I didn't know about it sometimes presenting like rubella, though, I'll have to remember that...
Sorry for the late reply, but the correct answer is indeed B.) generalized lymphadenopathy.
This is a kaplan question, here is the explanation.
The triad of cutaneous hemorrhages "blueberry muffin baby", deafness, and periventricular CNS calcifications suggests congenital CMV infection, the most common cause of intrauterine fetal viral infection.
