Abstract
ABSTRACT
A 40-year-old woman with uveitic macular edema (UME) in a treated case of ocular
tuberculosis (TB) is the subject of our unusual case study. She had full remission
with a single intravitreal injection of triamcinolone and dexamethasone. Anti-
inflammatory drugs, topical steroids, and anti-tubercular therapy were used to
address the patient’s history of recurrent anterior and intermediate uveitis in
past. When intravitreal corticosteroids were administered, the big macular cysts
and related retinal thickness that were seen on the optical coherence tomography
(OCT) results disappeared.
