Rubella retinopathy and subretinal neovascularization

Diseases that primarily affect the pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, or the choroid may lead to secondary subretinal neovascularization and its sequelae of hemorrhage and scarring. We studied three cases of presumed congenital rubella retinopathy with congenital deafness, which developed unilateral subretinal neovascularization, hemorrhage, and scarring.
