Figure

Chest radiographs of infants with congenital Zika syndrome, demonstrating elevation of the right hemidiaphragm. Panels A–D represent patients 1–4, respectively. In each instance, only the right hemidiaphragm was noticeably elevated. All patients also had arthrogryposis (including talipes equinovarus) and died from complications related to progressive respiratory failure.
