Radiological Evaluation of the Hip of Patients with Congenital Zika Syndrome

Introduction: Congenital Zika syndrome can generate microcephaly and spastic motor syndromes, limb deformities, arthrogryposis. Hip dysplasia, associated with this syndrome, is frequent but poorly studied. Objective: To describe the radiographic alterations of hip in patients Syndrome (CZS). Methods: Observational cross-sectional cohort study. We studied 25 a serological diagnosis CZS sample 50 hips. Patients underwent evaluation, lines angles drawn on AP P radiographs pelvis to assess relationship between femoral head acetabulum. The correlation was performed changes SZC, gender, presence arthrogryposis, spasticity, microcephaly. Results: mean age 36 months (29-45 months), 15 were female (60%), predominance blacks browns (72%). maternal 28 years (16-44 years), 11 (44%) had disease before 12th week gestation, all clinical symptoms related ZIKA virus infection. At birth, an average circumference 26 cm (26-32 cm). Of hips evaluated study, 38 (76%) orthopedic 20 (40%) In hip, hips, 12 (24%) Tonnis grade I, 22 subluxated (grade II), 9 (18%) low dislocated III), 7 (14%) high IV). RI changed 43 (86%) ACD valgus 45 (90%) ACEW 13 (26%) IA 18 (36%) Conclusion: found frequency dysplastic So, we indicate radiological investigation children suspected CZS.
