Optochiasmatic tuberculoma causing progressive visual failure: when has medical treatment failed?

W S Poon1, A Ahuja, A K Li.   

Abstract

A 5 year old girl with tuberculous meningitis developed progressive visual failure during in-patient anti-tuberculous chemotherapy due to an ophthochiasmatic tuberculoma. This was successfully managed by prolonged high-dose corticosteroids and continued anti-tuberculous therapy resulting in complete visual and psychosocial recovery.
