Objective: to report the main challenges experienced by families of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZS). Method: this is an experience report created from the experience of nurses during research carried out in Mossoró, RN, from 2017 to 2018, with children with CZS and their families. Results: the categories found were: "CZS and difficulties in the family context after the child's birth" and "Gaps between the diagnosis of CZS and integral assistance". Conclusion: the families of children with CZS experience challenges in creating and promoting their health. The need was identified for management agencies and health care professionals in the municipality to commit to the organization of the Health Care Network aimed at these children and their families.
