Rare bilateral corneoscleral perforation secondary to ocular tuberculosis: a case report and clinical insights
Computed tomography (CT) of the face and sinuses showed bilateral circumferential globe thickening. IGRA was positive. All other rheumatologic and infectious workups were negative, including HIV, ACE, ANA, ANCA, CRP, anti-scleroderma antibody and HCV. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone and seven months of rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. This workup shows the rare bilateral corneal involvement of ocular tuberculosis.
