Overview

On echocardiography, the several cardiac anomalies associated with congenital rubella syndrome may be observed. These include patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, as well as septal defects (VSD or ASD).[1][2] Prenatal ultrasound, although not sensitive, is highly specific in detecting the various anomalies associated with congenital rubella syndrome. Findings such as IUGR, cardiac and ophthalmic defects, fetal hydrops, and microcephaly may be observed on ultrasound.[3][4][5]

Echocardiography

The several cardiac anomalies, which are associated with congenital rubella syndrome, can be observed on echocardiography. These include:[1][2]

Ultrasound

Not all fetuses infected with rubella virus in the prenatal period present visible signs on ultrasound consistent with congenital rubella syndrome. However, positive findings on ultrasound provide certainty to the diagnosis, with specificity of prenatal ultrasound reaching ~100%.[6] Such findings include:[3][4][5]
