ABSTRACT
Background: Zika is a flavivirus that can be
transmitted transplacentally. Eye abnormalities have
been reported in 70% of Zika cases, and 41.7% of
them can occur in the absence of microcephaly. The
most common ocular abnormalities are macular
atrophy, optic atrophy and chorioretinal coloboma. The
objective was to report the case of eye disorders
associated with Zika, acquired transplacentally, despite
negative results for TORCH, and serology and PCR
analyses for Zika.
Clinical case: 9-month-old female patient, born in
Chiapas, Mexico, brought to an ophthalmologic
evaluation because she did not follow objects. As
family background patient’s mother had Zika,
confirmed serologically at 9 weeks gestation. Physical
examination revealed microcephaly, redundant skin on
neck, joint stiffness and delayed psychomotor
development. Ophthalmological examination revealed
in right eye atrophy of the optic nerve, and left eye with
exotropia, macular scar and optic nerve aplasia.
TORCH profile and serology and PCR for Zika were
negative.
Conclusions: Despite the negative serology for Zika,
given the history of pregnancy and the pre and postnatal
clinical manifestations, diagnosis of embryopathy
secondary to Zika infection with optic nerve aplasia,
chorioretinal atrophy, macular scar, microcephaly and
global neurodevelopmental delay was made.
