A fatal viral infection called rubella, often known as German or three-day measles, is spread by the Rubivirus genus of the Togaviridae family. The disorder known as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) has the potential to cause a wide range of multisystem problems. Every organ in the developing foetus can be damaged; the most prevalent involvements are cardiac, ophthalmic, and auditory abnormalities. This is a case report of an 11-year-old patient who was hospitalised at a tertiary care facility with severe signs and symptoms of CRS, which were identified at birth. Ocular abnormalities included congenital cataracts and salt and pepper retinopathy. The lens aspiration and Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation were done. This case serves as an example of the significance of the rubella immunisation program.
