Abstract
Purpose To report the treatment response of a case of tubercular choroidal granuloma and subretinal abscess with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) and moxifloxacin. Method Retrospective interventional case report. Results A 34-year-old man presented with bilateral choroidal granuloma and subretinal abscess in one eye. He was a known case of spinal tuberculosis and was on anti-tubercular therapy. Patient was successfully treated with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF and moxifloxacin. Conclusion Intravitreal anti-VEGF and moxifloxacin combination may be beneficial in tubercular choroidal granuloma and subretinal abscess.
