In order to deepen the knowledge of the epidemiological behavior of microcephaly in the country, infant mortality by microcephaly is analyzed between 1998 and 2012. The data come from the Direction of Statistics and Health Information (DEIS). The infant mortality rate by microcephaly (IMR-M) was calculated by provinces and regions and a clustering analysis was performed at the departmental level. The highest rates were observed in the regions and provinces of the north of the country. The spatial distribution of IMR-M is related to the prevalence of microcephaly in newborns. This distribution is related to the greater poverty and consanguinity of the north of Argentina, synergic factors predisposing to the occurrence of congenital malformations in general and microcephaly in particular. Debido al incremento de casos de microcefalia por virus Zika en Brasil el Ministerio de Salud de Argentina recomienda incrementar la vigilancia de esta malformación. A fin de profundizar el conocimiento del comportamiento epidemiológico de microcefalia en el país se analiza la mortalidad infantil por microcefalia entre 1998-2012. Los datos proceden de la Dirección de Estadísticas e Información de Salud (DEIS). Se calculó por provincias y regiones la tasa de mortalidad infantil por microcefalia (TMI-M) y se realizó un análisis de agrupamiento a nivel departamental. Las tasas más elevadas se observaron en las regiones y provincias del norte del país. La distribución espacial de la TMI-M guarda relación con las prevalencias de microcefalia en recién nacidos. Esta distribución se relaciona con la mayor pobreza y consanguinidad del norte de la Argentina, factores sinérgicos predisponentes de la ocurrencia de malformaciones congénitas en general y de microcefalia en particular.
