Overview
There is no specific treatment for congenital rubella syndrome. Symptoms are treated as appropriate. Management for ocular congenital rubella syndrome is similar to that for age-related macular degeneration, including counseling, regular monitoring, and the provision of low vision devices, if required.[1]
Medical Therapy
There is no specific medical treatment for congenital rubella syndrome. Most complications arising as a result are managed surgically. However, prenatal management of mothers infected with rubella depends on the gestational age at the onset of infection:[2]
- Before 18 weeks of gestation: termination of the pregnancy should be discussed, as chances of fetal complications are high
- After 18 weeks of gestation: pregnancy can be continued and closely monitored through serial ultrasound
