%X Introducci¨®n: el diagn¨®stico de catarata por ecograf¨ªa prenatal es un hallazgo poco frecuente y se ha reportado a¨²n con menor frecuencia en casos de infecciones cong¨¦nitas. El presente reporte describe un caso de catarata cong¨¦nita durante una infecci¨®n por Toxoplasma en el embarazo. Los estudios prenatales y posnatales confirmaron la etiolog¨ªa. Metodolog¨ªa: estudio de caso y revisi¨®n de literatura. Se hizo b¨²squeda en PubMed de MEDLInE con los t¨¦rminos sin restricci¨®n: "ultrasonido", "ultrasonograf¨ªa", "cataratas" y "prenatal". Resultados: se hallaron 43 referencias. S¨®lo uno de los documentos reportaba hallazgo de catarata por ecograf¨ªa prenatal en toxoplasmosis cong¨¦nita. Conclusi¨®n: la b¨²squeda cuidadosa de compromiso ocular durante el estudio ecogr¨¢fico en la toxoplasmosis adquirida durante el embarazo deber¨ªa ser un componente clave del estudio ecogr¨¢fico durante esta infecci¨®n. Introduction: it is not usual to diagnose cataracts by prenatal ecography and this has been even less frequently reported in cases of congenital infection. The present report describes a case of congenital cataract caused by toxoplasma infection during pregnancy. Prenatal and post-natal studies confirmed the aetiology. Methodology: a case study was prepared and a review of the pertinent literature was made. The search was made in MEDLInE/PubMed using terms without restriction: "ultrasound", "ultrasonography", "cataracts" and "prenatal". Results: forty-three references were found. Only one of the documents reported a cataract being found by prenatal ecography in a case of congenital toxoplasmosis. Conclusion: the careful search for ocular commitment during ecographic study of toxoplasmosis acquired during pregnancy should be a key component of ecographic study during this infection.
