A Case Series of Presumed Ocular Tuberculosis Presenting with Posterior Segment Inflammation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) is an unsual extrapulmonary manifestation which can affect almost every ocular structure making its clinical diagnosis challenging. Presumed ocular tuberculosis is diagnosed based upon a specific and compatible ocular finding, supportive investigations and favourable response to anti-tubercular treatment. We hereby present two cases of OTB which presented with posterior segment inflammation inform of posterior scleritis in a young as first case and choroidal mass in an elderly as second case. This report highlights a need for clinical suspicion and multidisciplinary approach during management of these rare cases.
