Overview
Congenital rubella syndrome is associated with craniofacial abnormalities, most commonly microcephaly or hydrocephaly. Hence, CT scan is able to assess the underlying brain; in patients, the forebrain is usually most affected.[1] In addition, a multi-detector CT scan (MDCT) is used to detect the various cardiac anomalies associated with congenital rubella syndrome. Findings such as patent ductus arteriosus, its degree of severity as well as other associated cardiac anomalies may be seen.[2]
