Children born with congenital Zika syndrome display atypical gross motor development and a higher risk for cerebral palsy
Journal of Child Neurology Jan 07, 2019
Marques FJP, et al. - As children’s development seems impeded by congenital Zika syndrome virus infection, researchers assessed gross motor trajectories and the cerebral palsy frequency in 39 infants with congenital Zika syndrome (diagnoses were established through clinical history, serology tests, and neuroimaging findings). They performed a cohort study applying the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Bayley III Scales in infants from 6 to 18 months of age. Outcomes revealed a marginal progression of gross motor development from 6 to 18 months of age. Further, these individuals displayed a high frequency of cerebral palsy.
