Abstract
Aim: To necessitate the need for an ophthalmology eyecheckup in a case of tuberculous meningitis with sub ILM bleed.
Case History: We present a case of a 19-year-old male with gradual, painless DOV in RE since1 month. History, visual acuity, anterior segment were examined. OCT & fundus photography were recorded. Patient was diagnosed to have extrapulmonary TB with intraretinal haemorrhage in right eye. Patient is on regular medical line of management for anti-tuberculosis therapy and is being followed up.
Discussion: Preretinal haemorrhage occur between posterior hyaloid & ILM. Sub-ILM haemorrhages leads to visual impairment and can lead to transient visual loss with possibilties of self-resolution.
Conclusion: Therefore it is mandatory to evaluate & necessitate the need for ophthalmology checkup in such patients.
Keywords: Intraretinal haemorrhage, ILM bleed, tuberculous meningitis, extrapulmonary TB
