Cerebral White Matter Injury in a Newborn Infant With COVID-19: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Because the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, reports of neurologic manifestations and neuroimaging associated with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported in children and in neonates, although very few when compared with adults.

Objectives: To describe a 3-day-old neonate presenting afebrile seizures with a persistent positive nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 and neuroimaging demonstrating extensive cerebral white matter injury.

Methods: Consent was obtained to report this case.

Neuroimaging in Children Born With Congenital Zika Syndrome: A Cohort Study.

Background And Purpose: Neuroimaging findings have been associated with adverse neurologic outcomes in children with congenital Zika virus infection. Our purpose is to describe the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of children around 3 years of age, born with congenital Zika syndrome.

Methods: This cohort study followed 62 children born with congenital Zika syndrome who had head computed tomography (CT) performed during the first months of life.

Characterization of Visual Pathway Abnormalities in Infants With Congenital Zika Syndrome Using Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Background: Severe visual impairment is present in nearly all infants with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS); however, ocular abnormalities are present only in a subset of these infants. The purpose of this study was to characterize the visual pathway abnormalities seen on computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans in infants with CZS.

Methods: Preliminary neuroimaging information was obtained from a referred sample of 105 infants with clinical and epidemiologic data consistent with CZS in the Pernambuco state of Brazil.

Association of Severe Hydrocephalus With Congenital Zika Syndrome.

Importance: Hydrocephalus is a treatable but potentially fatal complication that has not been previously described in congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).

Objective: To describe the clinical features and imaging findings in 24 patients with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) who developed hydrocephalus.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This case series included patients with hydrocephalus who were born in October and November 2015 and followed up until mid-2017 in the 2 largest national referral centers for CZS in Brazil.

Neuroimaging findings associated with congenital Zika virus syndrome: case series at the time of first epidemic outbreak in Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the prenatal and postnatal neuroimaging and clinical findings in a clinical series following congenital Zika virus syndrome during the first epidemic Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil.

Methods: We (the authors) conducted a retrospective study of a prospectively collected case series of fetuses and neonates with microcephaly born to mothers with presumed/confirmed congenital ZIKV syndrome. Prenatal ultrasound findings were reviewed to identify potential central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities.

Neuroimaging findings of Zika virus infection: a review article.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus from the Flaviviridae family. It is usually transmitted by mosquito bite. There have been no reports of severe symptoms caused by ZIKV infection up until the last few years.

The myelination process in severely malnourished children: MRI findings.

This study reports cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in children with severe protein energy malnutrition (PEM) performed to determine malnutrition related myelination delay. A total of 20 children aged 2 months to 24 months were included in this study. Eleven (55%) of the children had severe wasting, five (25%) children had edematous malnutrition, and four (20%) children had severe stunting.
