- Abstract
Many exanthematous conditions, such as herpes simplex, herpes zoster, influenza, Epstein-Barr virus, and rubella, are known to be associated with intraocular inflammation. These conditions are either acquired or congenital. Congenital rubella can have a variety of ocular manifestations and retinopathy is the most common presentation. Other common manifestations include cataract, microphthalmia, optic nerve diseases, glaucoma, and strabismus. Acquired rubella can be seen in adults or adolescents and tends to be mild and self-limiting. Conjunctivitis and epithelial keratitis are the most common findings. Retinal involvement in acquired rubella is very rare. Moreover, neovascular membrane development in acquired rubella retinopathy is also very rare. In this case report, subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane related to presumed acquired rubella infection was noted in a young male patient.
