Abstract:
PURPOSE:To report a rare case of intermediate uveitis following rubella infection in pregnancy. DESIGN:Case report. METHODS:A 35-year-old pregnant woman, at 24 weeks of gestation, presented with sudden floaters and blurring of vision of the left eye. Ocular examination revealed vitritis 1-2+ with no retinal involvement. Rubella serology showed a high IgG titr eof 268 IU/mL. Treatment with periocular steroids (posterior subtenon triamcinalone) injection into the left eye was initiated. RESULTS:Improvement of vision with resolution of the vitritis was seen after 3 weeks. Repeat rubella IgG titer dropped to 20.4 IU/mL. Obstetrics evaluation of the fetus remained normal. CONCLUSIONS:Rubella-related intermediate uveitis is a very rare presentation during pregnancy. It is worthwhile to investigate for rubella infections in pregnant patients complaining of recent onset of visual disturbances. This type of intermediate uveitis can be treated successfully with minimal ocular complications if recognized early.
