Atypical Case of Presumed Ocular Tuberculosis Presenting as Unilateral Occlusive Vasculitis

Tuberculosis affects the lungs in 80% of patients, while in the remaining 20% the disease may affect other organs, including the eye. Ocular tuberculosis can affect all ocular tissues, the diagnostic remains difficult (1).

The purpose of our case is to show an atypical clinical presentation of tuberculosis.
