Presumed tuberculous maculopathy

M F Goldberg

    Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Tuberculosis can affect the choroid, causing a mass that involutes with treatment. Angiography showed large vessels in the mass but no connection to retinal vessels.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Choroidal masses can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Ocular manifestations of tuberculosis are diverse.
    • The macula is critical for central vision.

    Observation:

    • A solitary choroidal mass was identified in a patient with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • The mass was located beneath the macula.
    • The patient underwent antituberculosis therapy.

    Findings:

    • The choroidal mass involuted significantly following antituberculosis therapy.
    • Angiography revealed prominent vasculature within the mass.
    • Secondary changes were noted in overlying retinal vessels.
    • No direct vascular connections (anastomosis) were found between the retinal vessels and the choroidal mass vasculature.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for ocular involvement in tuberculosis.
    • Antituberculosis therapy can lead to resolution of choroidal tuberculous lesions.
    • Understanding the vascular supply of choroidal masses is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • The lack of anastomosis suggests distinct vascular networks for the choroidal lesion and overlying retina.
