In addition to its well-established association with microcephaly in neonates, the Zika virus infection has also been suggested to trigger other severe neurologic complications in adults, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, radiculomyelitis, and meningoencephalitis. Hence, the Zika virus should be deemed a global threat that can cause devastating neurologic complications among individuals in all age ranges. The aim of this review was to further describe neuroimaging findings of Zika virus infection and associated neurologic complications found in adults.ADEMacute disseminated encephalomyelitisDENVdengue feverELISAenzyme-linked immunosorbent assayGBSGuillain-Barré syndromeIgMimmunoglobulin MPRNTplaque-reduction neutralization testTMtransverse myelitisZIKVZika virus ER -
