Although infection with the Zika virus was first recognized in 1942, it received
little attention until 2007, when a true pandemic spread throughout Africa,
Asia, and the Americas. Since then, numerous forms of central nervous system
involvement have been described, mainly malformations related to congenital
infection. Although the neuroimaging findings in congenital Zika syndrome are
not pathognomonic, many are quite suggestive of the diagnosis, and radiologists
should be prepared to interpret such findings accordingly. The objective of this
article is to review the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
findings in congenital Zika syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
