Salt-and-pepper retinopathy: multimodal imaging of rubella retinopathy
A 54-year-old female presented with congenital hearing loss and pigmentary retinopathy.
She was diagnosed with congenital rubella retinopathy. Visual acuity was 20/25 in
both eyes. Fundus examination showed bilateral granular pigmentary mottling in all
4 retinal quadrants in both eyes (
Fig. A) corresponding to hypoautofluorescent spots on wide-field imaging (
Fig. B). Optical coherence tomography angiography showed increased choroidal vessel rarefaction
at the level of the choriocapillaris (left, blue arrows) and nummular hyperreflective
lesions on scanning laser ophthalmoscopy near-infrared imaging (right) (
Fig. C, yellow arrows). Corresponding retinal pigment epithelium and ellipsoid corrugations
were seen on optical coherence tomography (top, red arrows) with increased flow transmission
on B scans (bottom, green arrows) (
Fig. D).
