title: Ventriculitis in congenital rubella: ultrasound demonstration.
abstract: A female infant with proven congenital rubella infection was referred for cranial ultrasound examination. Intraventricular strands and debris with periventricular echogenic foci were demonstrated. These findings, typical of ventriculitis, have not previously been reported in congenital rubella. Mental retardation is the rule in symptomatic cases and therefore early recognition of central nervous system involvement is of benefit in assessing the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome.
