This report is of a patient with congenital rubella syndrome with microphthalmos and cataract in 1 eye and raised intraocular pressure with an apparently normal-sized cornea in the fellow eye. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of rubella immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G antibodies was positive. The cataracts were removed by manual irrigation and aspiration with primary posterior capsulotomy and limited anterior vitrectomy. The raised intraocular pressure was managed by trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy.
Key words: Cataract, Hydrophthalmos, Microphthalmos, Rubella syndrome, congenital
