Optical coherence tomography (OCT) reveals a unique "contact" sign in eyes with tuberculous choroidal granuloma. This finding aids in differentiating these granulomas from other similar-appearing lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Tuberculous choroidal granuloma is an intraocular manifestation of tuberculosis.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely treatment and preventing vision loss.
  • Distinguishing granulomas from other choroidal lesions can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the optical coherence tomographic (OCT) features of tuberculous choroidal granuloma.
  • To evaluate OCT's utility in diagnosing choroidal tuberculous granulomas.

Main Methods:

  • A case series involving nine eyes of nine patients diagnosed with tuberculous choroidal granuloma.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans were performed on affected eyes.

Main Results:

  • OCT scans demonstrated a characteristic "contact" sign, indicating attachment between the retinal pigment epithelium-choriocapillaris layer and the neurosensory retina over the granuloma.
  • Associated findings included subretinal fluid and inflammatory infiltrates in deeper retinal layers.

Conclusions:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides distinctive features for diagnosing tuberculous choroidal granuloma.
  • OCT can assist in differentiating tuberculous choroidal granulomas from non-inflammatory lesions with similar clinical presentations.
