Congenital varicella syndrome

Abstract

We report a case of a premature baby, 35 weeks gestation. Whose mother presented with skin rash during pregnancy. The newborn patient presented with cutis aplasia, rudimentary digits in both feet with pansystolic murmur, microphthalmia and normal fundoscopic examination. Chest x-ray showed plethoric lung fields and echocardiogram confirmed a ventricular septal defect. The findings are consistent with congenital varicella syndrome.
