ABSTRACT

Introduction: The congenital syndrome associated with the Zika virus (CZS), described in the last decade, has constituted a health problem for the countries of Latin America. This disease is manifested by microcephaly and a series of fetal malformations that mainly involve the central nervous system, and generates severe functional alterations in children who suffer from it.: To describe the clinical characteristics in children diagnosed with CZS who were treated at the International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN), in the period from August/2018 to December/2020. Methods: We carried out a prospective descriptive study in a series of 14 children with a diagnosis of CZS, all from Venezuela admitted to our center through the Cuba-Venezuela Health Agreement, treated in the period from August/2018 to December/2020, who were evaluated by a multidisciplinary team. Results: 100% of the patients presented the main neurological alterations described in the CSZ as microcephaly, delayed psychomotor development and spasticity. 85.71% of the children presented epilepsy. 100% of the patients presented structural brain lesions present in CSZ such as: reduction of the brain, thin cortex, ventriculomegaly, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, subcortical calcifications. Conclusions: It is found that the congenital syndrome associated with Zika virus infection causes serious neurological sequelae.
