Ocular Tuberculosis Presenting with Granulomatous Uveitis in an Adolescent Patient: A Rare Case Report

Öz

Tuberculosis continues to be a significant global public health issue. Tuberculosis most often affects the lungs. However, children are more likely to have extrapulmonary involvement compared to adults. Ocular involvement is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. Ocular tuberculosis may affect any part of the eye and can be remain unnoticed due to the lack of clinically evident symptoms or findings, if there is no history of tuberculosis contact or other systemic signs or if these are not questioned. Here, we present an adolescent case who was diagnosed with pulmonary and ocular tuberculosis when investigating the underlying cause of granulomatous uveitis and successfully controlled with four drug regimen anti-tuberculosis and methylprednisolone treatment. In conclusion, ocular tuberculosis is an important cause of ocular morbidity. Diagnosis and follow-up require a multidisciplinary approach.
