ABSTRACT
Introduction: congenital Zika syndrome is caused by Zika virus infection during pregnancy. This causes fetal malformations, clinical alterations and in the neurodevelopment of these children. The manifestations in psychomotor development have been little addressed in detail in the scientific literature. Objective: to describe the characteristics of psychomotor development in children with congenital Zika syndrome. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. 14 children with this syndrome, in the age group of 1 and 3 years, were selected through an intentional sampling. Evaluated in the Neuropsychology service of the International Center for Neurological Restoration, year 2018-2019. A structured interview, the early childhood psychomotor assessment scale/Brunet-Lezine, was applied. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric techniques were used with a significance level of p≤0.05. Results: 57.1% were male. The mean developmental age was 2.9 months, the developmental coefficient 10 points. The age of postural control 2.8 months, oculomotor coordination and adaptation behavior to objects 1.8 months, language 4.2 months and socialization 2.8 months. Delay in psychomotor development, microcephaly, and spastic quadriparesis were identified in 100% of the study sample. As well as epilepsy and neurosensory deficit in 93%. Conclusions: the characteristics of psychomotor development in children with congenital Zika syndrome were described, which present profound impairment in psychomotor development, aggravated by associated comorbidities.REFERENCES
