Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a rare case of an intraretinal tuberculoma and associated neuroretinitis. METHODS: The patient was evaluated with various imaging modalities including fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical coherence tomography; her extensive laboratory workup returned positive for tuberculosis. RESULTS: After initially presenting with no light perception, 13 weeks of antitubercular therapy allowed for visual acuity recovery to 20/30. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the spectral domain optical coherence tomography characteristics of an intraretinal tuberculoma.
