Abstract

Zika epidemic and the neurologically effects, mainly microcephaly, have prompted high level alerts in Latin America and Colombia due to the increase in incidence of cases, testifying the need to follow protocols ultimately allowing the correct maternal and neonatal diagnosis. The case of a newborn is presented; she has history of exposure to Zika virus in first trimester, without sonographic abnormalities, neurological deficit or microcephaly who presents an absence of septum pellucidum associated with other malformations in the brain proved y radiology (CT and ecography). Despite this, in several parts of the world there is a significant lack of knowledge of the current literature on this subject which generates a series of barriers that, along with existing prejudices and myths in society, limit the access to PPC.
