Abstract

The Authors report the US, CT and MR features of sclerochoroidal tuberculosis simulating a choroidal tumor in a 16 Year old female presenting with acute unilateral visual loss. Fundoscopic examination and fluorescein angiography showed a tumor at the posterior pole of the globe. CT and MRI showed the choroidal process and cerebral lesions suggestive of tuberculomas. The evolution was favorable with antituberculous treatment. Ocular tuberculosis is rare, especially the pseudotumoral form. It can simulate a choroidal tumor. Radiologists should be familiar with this appearance because the lesion is reversible with antituberculous treatment.
