JBJS Case Connector 12(4):e22.00342, October-December 2022. | DOI: 10.2106/JBJS.CC.22.00342 Buy Metrics Abstract Case: Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) has been noted after the South American pandemic of Zika virus which peaked in 2015 to 2016, and the associated sequelae are still being described. Scoliosis has been noted in patients with CZS; however, there is a paucity of literature on the prevalence or management of scoliosis secondary to this condition. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with severe neuromuscular scoliosis due to CZS that was managed with halo-gravity traction, followed by a growth-friendly construct. Conclusion: This case report highlights the need for more research focusing on the survivors of the Zika pandemic. Copyright © 2022 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated
