ABSTRACT

OTB still represents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, due to its heterogeneous clinical manifestations, mixed ocular tissue involvement, lack of diagnostic criteria and gold standard tests, and lack of international agreement on the therapeutic approach. We report a rare case of patient with tuberculous neuroretinitis and atypical juxtapapillary choroiditis who responded to antituberculosis treatment (ATT) and systemic corticosteroid with complete recovery of vision.

Keywords: choroiditis, neuroretinitis, juxtapapillary, corticosteroids.
