Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Orbital tuberculosis (TB) is exceptionally rare in North America.
  • Reemergence of TB, often associated with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), necessitates consideration of TB in orbital disease differentials.

Observation:

  • A case of TB involving the orbit, lower eyelid, and zygoma is presented.
  • The orbital lesion was surgically excised.

Findings:

  • The patient demonstrated a positive response to anti-tuberculosis therapy post-excision.
  • This case highlights the clinical presentation and successful management of orbital TB.

Implications:

  • Orbital TB may become a more frequent presentation due to the resurgence of TB.
  • Clinicians should include orbital TB in the differential diagnosis for inflammatory orbital conditions.
