Abstract:

Objective: to analyze the concept of Zika Virus Congenital Syndrome. Method: this is a conceptual analysis, based on Walker and Avant. In order to operationalize the search, we performed a systematic review. Results: the essence of the concept of Zika Virus Congenital Syndrome is determined by the following attributes: intracranial calcification, ventriculomegaly, and decreased brain volume. For this syndrome to happen, it is necessary to have the backgrounds: transplacental transmission of a mother infected by the bite of the Aedes SSP mosquito or by sexual contact. Accordingly, this entails a set of signs and symptoms that go beyond fetal or postnatal microcephaly, such as, for example, delayed neuropsychomotor development, auditory and visual abnormalities, craniofacial disproportion, overlapping cranial sutures, prominent occipital bone, excess nuchal skin, epilepsy, irritability, dyskinesia, hypertonia, hypotonia, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, spasticity and hyperreflexia. Conclusion: the concept of Zika Virus Congenital Syndrome is newly acknowledged. The presence of the set of signs and symptoms by the Zika Virus Congenital Syndrome is determined by intracranial calcification and decreased brain volume, and the baby may present microcephaly at birth or only later.
