Summary

Miliary tuberculosis can affect the choroid, causing inflammation and multifocal choroidal tubercles. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs led to lesion regression in a pediatric case.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Miliary tuberculosis (MTB) is a severe disseminated form of tuberculosis.
  • Ocular involvement in MTB can manifest in various ways, including posterior segment inflammation.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old boy presented with multifocal choroidal tubercles.
  • Clinical examination and angiography were utilized to assess the choroidal lesions.

Findings:

  • The patient received anti-tuberculosis therapy for 8 months.
  • Significant regression of choroidal tubercles was observed post-treatment.
  • Residual pigmentary changes were noted in the affected areas.

Implications:

  • This case highlights that tuberculosis can present as posterior segment inflammation.
  • The choroid is identified as a potential target tissue in miliary tuberculosis.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing ocular manifestations of MTB.
