Twin girls infected with Zika at nine weeks of gestation. Both were born with extremely small heads, shrunken spinal cords and extra folds of skin around the skull. Scientists think this extra skin forms when the skull collapses onto itself after the brain, but not the skull, stops growing in the uterus. The images of the girls’ heads were constructed on the computer using CT scans.
