“…82 Nonetheless, the severity of brain pathology and abnormal neurologic findings in numerous reports raise the concern that many of the children with congenital ZIKV infection will have complex and potentially multiple developmental disabilities in addition to epilepsy and motor abnormalities. Moreover, infants and children who have 1 or both of these neurologic conditions are at risk for a number of medical conditions that can impair growth and development, such as malnutrition, 83,84 and be life-threatening, such as swallowing and feeding difficulties 21,85 and obstructive sleep apnea. 86 Children with developmental disabilities, which include CP and epilepsy, require increased medical and rehabilitative services.…”

Initial reports of congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection focused on microcephaly at birth with severe brain anomalies; the phenotype has broadened to include microcephaly that develops after birth and neurodevelopmental sequelae. In this narrative review, we summarize medical literature describing motor abnormalities and epilepsy in infants with evidence of congenital ZIKV infection and provide information on the impact of these conditions. Specific scenarios are used to illustrate the complex clinical course in infants with abnormalities that are consistent with congenital Zika syndrome. A search of the English-language medical literature was done to identify motor abnormalities and epilepsy in infants with evidence of congenital ZIKV infection by using Medline and PubMed, Embase, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus, the OpenGrey Repository, and the Grey Literature Report in Public Health. Search terms included "Zika" only and "Zika" in combination with any of the following terms: "epilepsy," "seizure," "motor," and "cerebral palsy." Clinical features of motor abnormalities and epilepsy in these children were reviewed. Thirty-six publications were identified; 8 were selected for further review. Among infants with clinical findings that are consistent with congenital Zika syndrome, 54% had epilepsy and 100% had motor abnormalities. In these infants, impairments that are consistent with diagnoses of cerebral palsy and epilepsy occur frequently. Pyramidal and extrapyramidal motor abnormalities were notable for their early development and co-occurrence. Prompt identification of potential disabilities enables early intervention to improve the quality of life for affected children. Long-term studies of developmental outcomes and interventions in children with congenital ZIKV infection are needed.

“…The use of modified food utensils, such as special spoons, forks, and drinking cups, has been shown to have a positive effect on the eating skills of children with cerebral palsy (CP) (Hartini et al, 2021). Nutritional status in children with CP is associated with gross motor function and can be influenced by factors such as low birth weight (Leandro, 2016). Children with CP with better table tool handling skills tend to have better physical development and are likelier to eat various snacks (Zuckerman et al, 2015).…”

The objective of this article is to evaluate the effect on Parental Feeding Rules Counseling and Utilization of Special Spoons on the Nutritional Status for children with cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience nutritional deficiencies resulting from food intake challenges caused by brain and nervous impairments. However, parental implementation, such as counseling on feeding rules and the use of specialized spoons, needs to be improved. Method: A Pre Experimental design with a One Group Pretest-Posttest approach, namely counseling on feeding rules and the utilization of specialized spoons, on the food intake and nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy. The research was conducted at Griya Lare Utami and Special Need Schools 1 Bantul, with a minimum sample size of 18 parent-child pairs with cerebral palsy, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using bivariate analysis with the Paired t-test. Result: Child weight and Stature have increase. Conclusion: The intervention programme seemed to increase in the weight and stature indicator, but there has been no change in the nutritional status of BMI-for-age and Length-for-age.

“…There is an interesting hypothesis which states that the neuronal damage associated with ZIKV could result from the retinoid compounds that have leaked from the liver tissue during ZIKV infection [ 101 ]. A study found an association between nutrition and motor function in children with palsy; this could also possibly affect the outcomes in infants affected with ZIKV infection [ 102 ]. A correlation between ZIKV infection and anemia has been seen in several cases, and in contrast, other reports show no evidence of anemia with ZIKV infection [ 103 , 104 ].…”

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a Flavivirus from the Flaviviridae family and a positive-sense single strand RNA virus. ZIKV infection can cause a mild infection to the mother but can be vertically transmitted to the developing fetus, causing congenital anomalies. The prevalence of ZIKV infections was relatively insignificant with sporadic outbreaks in the Asian and African continents until 2006. However, recent epidemic in the Caribbean showed significant increased incidence of Congenital Zika Syndrome. ZIKV infection results in placental pathology which plays a crucial role in disease transmission from mother to fetus. Currently, there is no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vaccine or therapeutic drug against ZIKV. This review article summarizes the recent advances on ZIKV transmission and diagnosis and reviews nutraceuticals which can protect against the ZIKV infection. Further, we have reviewed recent advances related to the novel therapeutic nutrient molecules that have been shown to possess activity against Zika virus infected cells. We also review the mechanism of ZIKV-induced endoplasmic reticulum and apoptosis and the protective role of palmitoleate (nutrient molecule) against ZIKV-induced ER stress and apoptosis in the placental trophoblasts.
