Abstract
Ocular tuberculosis is a common cause of infective uveitis among our Malaysian population as the local incidence of tuberculosis (per 100,000 people) was reported at 92 in 2018, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.1 Choroidal granuloma is one of the characteristic findings of ocular tuberculosis. We report a case of unilateral ocular tuberculosis with choroidal granuloma, which developed recurrent choroidal neovascularization (CNV) requiring multiple intravitreal ranibizumab injections.
