Article Synopsis
- Microcephaly (MC) became a global health concern due to the Zika virus outbreak in 2015, leading researchers to analyze EEG findings in children born with MC in Brazil during this period.
- The study reviewed EEGs from 23 children, revealing that many had mothers with positive serology for various infections, including Zika, and showed prevalent diffuse slowing as a primary EEG abnormality.
- The authors suggest that distinct EEG patterns found in cases of Zika and other infections may link them to MC, calling for EEG evaluations in newly diagnosed congenital MC cases, particularly in regions with active Zika transmission.
