| description | Ocular tuberculosis is an ocular infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(TB). About 5-10% of ocular inflammation cases are caused by ocular TB. Spectrum
of ocular TB is diverse, affecting any part of the adnexa, different layers and
structures of the globe, orbital contents, optic nerve to the orbital apex posteriorly.
It can be associated with or without systemic manifestation. Posterior uveitis is
the most common presentation of ocular tuberculosis. Subretinal haemorrhage
secondary to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare complication in ocular
tuberculosis. We report a rare case of secondary choroidal neovascularization
in a 9-year-old boy with bilateral eye choroidal tuberculoma with underlying
miliary tuberculosis. He was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab and intravitreal
recombinant-tissue plasminogen activator (r-TPA) injection. The CNV resolved,
however, vision was poor due to atrophic fovea. |
