Abstract

PURPOSE: To report a case of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography.

METHODS: Case report.

RESULTS: A 61-year-old woman recently immigrated from China presented with round yellow-white retinal lesions in the left eye. The lesions were evaluated with multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Subsequent serologic testing revealed a positive quantiFERON-TB Gold test while work up for other entities was negative. The patient was diagnosed with presumed intraretinal tuberculosis. She was started on systemic anti-tubercular therapy and the lesions regressed. The regression was documented with OCT-A.

CONCLUSION: Case reports of primary intraretinal tuberculosis are uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the first case to demonstrate OCT-A findings of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis.

BRIEF SUMMARY STATEMENT: A case of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography is reported.
