Zika virus infection has become a new emergent neuropathological agent with several neurological complications [1]. Cao-Lormeau et al. reported an outbreak of Guillain-Barr? Syndrome (GBS) associated with Zika virus infection in French Polynesia [2]. A syndrome associated with congenital Zika virus infection (mainly microcephaly with brain malformations) was reported initially in Brazil and how now been confirmed elsewhere [3?5]. Other neurological complications associated with Zika virus such as meningoencephalitis [6] and acute myelitis [7] have also been reported.
