Indian J Ophthalmol. 2017 Apr;65(4):264-270. doi: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_464_16.

Abstract

Intraocular tuberculosis (TB) can have several clinical presentations, affecting nearly every tissue of the eye. These clinical signs have specific imaging characteristics which help in associating them with tuberculous etiology. This review enumerates the conventional and emerging imaging techniques for intraocular TB and highlights their clinical application for diagnosis and management of specific clinical presentations.
