The most common infectious agents that can affect the fetus during pregnancy are Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii), Rubella virus (RV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type I and II [2]. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the Zika virus infection and the agent "Zika Virus" from the arbovirus family [3]. Zika virus was first detected in French Polynesia in 2013 as a combination of pictures similar to Guillain-Barre Syndrome and microcephaly [4,5]. Later, if pregnant women were infected, some craniofacial anomalies, loss of brain tissue, corpus callosum agenesis, low pressure cerebrospinal fluid, and various neurological disorders were observed in later periods [3,4].After this date, a new definition as "TORZiCH" was made to the definition of "TORCH infection" [3].
