PURPOSE: To report a patient presenting with unilateral xanthopsia who was diagnosed as having retinal vasculitis with pulmonary tuberculosis.
DESIGN: A case report.
METHODS: A 20-year-old man presented with xanthopsia in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed multiple retinal hemorrhages, vascular sheathing, and a yellowish retina.
RESULTS: He was diagnosed as having retinal phlebitis with pulmonary tuberculosis by chest x-ray and computerized tomography scans and treated with anti-tuberculosis medications. After treatment, he described clearance of xanthopsia, and fundus examination also showed normal coloration.
CONCLUSIONS: Xanthopsia may be a sign of retinal vasculitis associated with tuberculosis. Ophthalmologists should suspect retinal vasculitis when patient complains of xanthopsia.
