Résumé
Normal development of the fovea begins before midgestation and continues for several years after birth. Foveal hypoplasia is a condition in which the foveal pit and the foveal avascular zone do not fully develop. Several diseases are known to be associated with foveal hypoplasia; however, a direct association between foveal hypoplasia and congenital rubella has not been stated so far. This report describes a case of foveal hypoplasia detected during adulthood in a patient with known fetal exposure to maternal rubella infection and several ocular features of congenital rubella syndrome, including microphthalmia, congenital cataract, and pigmentary retinopathy. During follow-up, the visual acuity and ocular fundus changes remained stable.
