Overview
Congenital rubella syndrome can cause serious birth defects and the prognosis depends on the severity of the problem. Heart defects can be corrected but neurological damage is permanent.
Natural History
Complications
Maternal infection with rubella early in pregnancy can result in severe consequences on the fetus, which include spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, IUGR and congenital rubella syndrome.[1] Complications of congenital rubella syndrome itself include several birth defects, which can result in early and late complications.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Early Complications
| Organ System Involved | Complication |
|---|---|
| HEENT | |
| Neurological | |
| Cardiac |
Late Complications
| Organ System Involved | Complication |
|---|---|
| HEENT | Glaucoma |
| Endocrine | |
| Neurological/ Psychiatric |
Prognosis
The prognosis of congenital rubella syndrome depends on the severity of cardiac and neurological malformations. It is estimated that congenital rubella syndrome has a mortality rate of 20%.[8]
