Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Choroidal involvement of tuberculosis is a rare ocular form of presumed intraocular tuberculosis (PIOTB). We presented a case of 40 years old Indian patient medically free and healthy came with gradual decrease of vision over one week. Fundus examination revealed that the retina in the left eye showed single large lesion (tumor like mass) in the macular area with subretinal fluids. Optic coherence tomography (OCT) and Fluroscene angiography confirm the presence of inflammatory subretinal mass. The patient was treated by full anti-TB medication for 10 months. Patient recovered from counting finger to 20/20 with no recurrence for 1 year. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this rare presentation of TB.
