PURPOSE: To describe a novel clinical and imaging finding in patients with tubercular posterior uveitis.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 3 cases presented at a tertiary referral eye centre in North India was performed between June 2016 and March 2019. All the patients had received an initial diagnosis of noninfective etiologies (sympathetic ophthalmia, necrotizing scleritis, and lymphoma). Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography were reviewed.
RESULTS: Three patients (all Asian Indian women: aged 18, 49, and 52 years) diagnosed with panuveitis were investigated for various etiologies based on the initial clinical suspicion. During the course of therapy, all the patients developed peripheral yellow subretinal pigment epithelium deposits (YSRPE) which appeared hypoautofluorescent on fundus autofluorescence and initially hypofluorescent with late hyperfluorescence on fluorescein angiography. The patients were subjected to detailed systemic evaluation and laboratory tests. All the patients showed acid-fast bacilli on invasive tissue biopsies. After initiation of antitubercular therapy, the lesions resolved in all eyes.
CONCLUSION: Yellow subretinal pigment epithelium deposits represent a novel and important diagnostic sign of tubercular posterior uveitis.
