Importance: Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection may present with a spectrum of clinical and neuroradiographic findings.
Objective: To determine whether neuroimaging findings for infants with a history of ZIKV exposure are associated with infant clinical outcomes and gestational age at antenatal ZIKV infection.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study retrospectively reviewed neuroimaging results (computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging scans) of 110 ZIKV-exposed infants from a maternity and children's hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, following the 2015 to 2016 ZIKV epidemic.
Background: Zika-exposed infants with microcephaly (proportional or disproportional) and those who are small for gestational age without microcephaly should be closely followed, particularly their growth trajectories. They are at high risk of adverse outcomes in the first year of life.Antenatal Zika virus (ZIKV) exposure may lead to adverse infant outcomes including microcephaly and being small for gestational age (SGA).
