white spot in the fetal liver usually is due to calcium deposition following various TORCH Infections such as cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma, rubella etc.further management depends on the clinical picture of baby born.such babies usually present as small for date,hepatitis,pneumonitis,eye manifestation,microcephaly etc.
