ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of ciliary body tuberculoma, which induced scleral melting. CASESUMMARY:
A 32-year-old man, who was diagnosed with miliary pulmonary tuberculosis 1 week earlier, presented with a conjunctival injection and mass on his right eye 3 months in duration. On excisional biopsy, melted sclera and exposed uveal tissue were found; acid-fast stain was positive. Two months after anti-tuberculosis treatment, anterior granulomatous uveitis and granuloma formation on the anterior chamber angle developed. A low-dose systemic steroid therapy was added. Six weeks after systemic steroid therapy, anterior uveitis and granuloma on anterior chamber angle disappeared.CONCLUSIONS:
We experienced a case of ocular tuberculosis on the ciliary body. A low-dose systemic steroid along with multi-drug anti-tubercular therapy may be an effective treatment of ciliary body tuberculoma.
