• Abstract:

  Introduction: In Brazil, an epidemic caused

  by Zika Virus generated an increase in cases

  of microcephaly in live births, characterizing

  that women infected during the period of

  gestation transmitted the virus to the fetus.

  The consequences of virus infection are

  characterized as congenital Zika syndrome

  and can be evidenced through microcephaly

  associated with or not, to visual, auditory and

  osteomioarticular, may be reversible or permanent. Objective: To detect delays in

  neuropsychomotor development in children affected in the prenatal period by Zika

  Virus through maternal infection. Materials and Methods: Observational study, crosssectional

  with descriptive analysis in children diagnosed with Zika Vírus belonging to the

  Associação de Pais de Anjos da Bahia, the participants were submitted to the Denver

  II test and their responsible interviews through a semi-structured questionnaire. Study

  approved, CAAE: 64655616.2.0000.5032. Results: Eight children were evaluated, 5

  (62.5%) female, with a mean age of 1.8 ± 0.11 years and cephalic perimeter of 29.5±1.5

  centimeters. There was a predominance of Zika’s diagnosis of pregnant women in the

  first trimester (37.5%). Of the associated comorbidities, all children had microcephaly,

  7(87.5%) osteomioarticular alterations, 5(62.5%) had previous convulsion. Disorders:

  5(62.5%) impairment visual and 1(12.5%) had a hearing loss. Of the aspects evaluated

  by the Denver II, the most affected was the gross motor. Conclusion: It is possible to

  verify that children with congenital Zika syndrome present delays in neuropsicomotor

  development.
