Assuming that magnetic fields were produced before recombination they could constitute a source of anisotropies actually present in the Cosmic Microwave Background. We integrate the relativistic linear perturbed equations of fluids, Maxwell and Einstein to follow the evolution of a primordial magnetic filament. Magnetic fields equivalent to present 10-9 – 10-8 Gauss should have observable effects on CMB anisotropies. The identification of magnetic anisotropies will be discussed. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
