Abstract
Fifty patients born with congenital rubella in 1939-1945 were reviewed in 1967. In 1991 this cohort was again studied and their ophthalmic f eatures are presented here. The presence of two new cataracts and one case of possible choroidal neovascularisation are again noted; apart f rom these three eyes, the group showed no evidence of other delayed ma nifestations of the congenital rubella syndrome. A review is given of the ocular complications of the congenital rubella syndrome, with part icular emphasis on the late complications.
