Abstract
Six cases of rubella retinopathy seen within a year in a children''s hospital are described and the condition is discussed. Unlike retinitis pigmentosa, rubella retinopathy is not progressive and has little, if any, effect on vision. Its main significance is its ability to ''label'' other congenital malformations such as cataract, heart disease, and deafness in the absence of a definite history and maternal rubella. This, and the differential diagnosis from retinitis pigmentosa, make its recognition of importance to pediatricians.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
