Microcephaly is an anomaly, in which there is poor brain formation, with irregularities of structures and functions to the newborn present at birth. The study is justified by the importance of knowledge about the growth and development of children with microcephaly related to Zika virus, with a view to monitoring and stimulating their skills with family and professionals. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to analyze the changes in the growth and development of children with microcephaly related to the vertical transmission of the Zika virus. METHODOLOGY: This is an epidemiological and descriptive study of a quantitative approach performed at the pediatric outpatient clinic of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, located in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. The study had as a target audience all children diagnosed with microcephaly related to transmission by the Zika virus and accompanied at the research site that totaled the quantitative of 36 children during the collection period.
