In the vast majority of cases, a simple persistence of the germinal matrix is proposed to explain their presence in asymptomatic preterm neonates. Viral infections, mainly with CMV and rubella, are commonly found when the pseudocysts are associated with other abnormalities of the central nervous system. The pseudocysts are then often multilocular.
