Abstract
The Zika Virus is a disease transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
and female Aedes albopictus, infected with the virus. It can also be transmitted sexually
or prenatally during pregnancy. (Matos Alviso et al; 2017). The first cases
reported were at the beginning of 2015 in the Northeast of Brazil, cases where through
Clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory investigations concluded that infection during
pregnancy caused uterine transmission of the Zika virus which affected development
embryonic causing microcephaly and serious disorders in brain development. (Matos Alviso
et al; 2017). Clinically the characteristics of Congenital Syndrome due to Zika virus are
consequence of direct neurological involvement and loss of intracranial volume,
causing structural and functional alteration. Structural alterations include
cranial morphology (severe microcephaly), brain abnormalities, eye abnormalities and
congenital contractures. Functional alterations are exclusively related to the
neurological impairment
