Children born with congenital Zika syndrome display typical gross motor development and a higher risk for cerebral palsy
Journal of Child Neurology Dec 15, 2018
Marques FJP, et al. - A sum of 39 newborns from 6 to 18 months of age, diagnosed through clinical history, serology tests, and neuroimaging conclusions, were analyzed to gross motor trajectories and the rate of cerebral palsy in infants with congenital Zika syndrome by using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Bayley III Scales. Researchers observed AIMS mean raw score of 9.74 at 6 months or similar to 2 to 3 months of motor developmental age (the Bayley III Scales results correlated to the AIMS), 14.13 at 12 months identical to 3 to 4 months of motor development age and 15.77 at 18 months or a motor development equivalent to 4 to 5 months of age. They found 35 of 39 infants met criteria for the diagnosis of cerebral palsy and were exhibited a high incidence of cerebral palsy. Gross motor development was observed marginally progressive from 6 to 18 months of age.
