Abstract
Early childhood is a critical stage of life. Infectious diseases that affect the brain during pregnancy can interfere with children’s developmental trajectories. Children born with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) experience significant neurological issues, developmental delays, and high rates of cerebral palsy. As they age, their developmental outcomes and trajectories are becoming clearer. The aim of this chapter is to describe the developmental trajectories in infants and toddlers affected with congenital Zika syndrome.
