This is a case of a four-month-old female infant who presented with clinical manifestations of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) — bilateral cataracts, poorly-dilating pupils, microcorneas, salt and pepper retinopathies seen after cataract extractions, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, patent ductus arteriosus, microcephaly, history of blueberry spots and low birth weight, and positive serum IgM and IgG tests for rubella. The patient’s mother also had prenatal rubella infection. However, the patient also presented with additional set of clinical findings not seen in recent patients with CRS and not commonly reported in literature: visual acuities of poor to no dazzle, bilateral choroidal thickening on ocular ultrasound that spontaneously resolved, optic nerve inflammation that became atrophic, vessel tortuosities seen after cataract extractions, bilateral subependymal cysts with lenticulostriate vasculopathy in basal ganglia, basal ganglia hyperintensity suggestive of calcification, and jaundice. These findings plus the overlapping clinical manifestations with CRS and the positive IgM and IgG for cytomegalovirus (CMV) made us consider a congenital CMV co-infection. CRS already causes significant childhood morbidity. Getting co-infected with CMV in utero worsens morbidity and makes management more difficult. This case presented a congenital co-infection of rubella and CMV and discussed the added challenges in their diagnosis and management.

The detachment and reattachment of inferior oblique (IO) have been done by ophthalmologists in inferomedial orbital wall fracture repair to avoid inducing a new diplopia in patients post-operatively. However, doing them in orbital wall reconstruction in patient who underwent maxillectomy for a malignancy has not been described yet. We describe a case where a disinserted inferior oblique was reattached after titanium mesh implantation to prevent diplopia after the surgery. This is the case of a 40-year-old male diagnosed with recurrent bilateral nasomaxillary ameloblastoma who underwent total maxillectomy of the right with removal of the inferomedial orbital wall, and detachment and reattachment of inferior oblique with no resulting inferior oblique palsy and diplopia from hypotropia or incyclotorsion. This is the first report, to our knowledge, to describe reattachment of IO in its approximate insertion during reconstruction of the inferomedial orbital wall after total maxillectomy from a malignancy with no resulting diplopia.
