We report an interesting corneal finding of sectoral, tongue-shaped posterior corneal stromal debris with adjacent episcleral inflammation in one case and scleral inflammation in the other case. With appropriate antibiotic treatment, the stromal debris consolidated, organized, and resulted in posterior corneal stromal scarring. The etiology was Pseudomonas scleritis in the first case and Mycobacterium tuberculosis–associated episcleritis in the second case. This case report highlights an atypical corneal finding and its clinical course. The need to rule out infections as a cause in such presentations, especially in the developing world, is emphasized through this report.
We present a case of a 28-year-old male who was diagnosed with bilateral tubercular multifocal choroiditis with intraretinal neovascularization adjacent to an area of choroiditis in the left eye. We present OCTA features of the neovascular complex before and after 4 months of treatment with anti-tubercular therapy and oral steroids. We speculate that the intraretinal neovascular complex noted in our case may be due to VEGF released by the underlying ischemic choroid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
