RESUMEN

AIM: To report silicone oil tamponade induced vasculitis in the early post operative period - a rare manifestation of 'Toxic Posterior Segment Syndrome' after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 50-year-old gentleman presented with vasculitis after a pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade on the first post-operative day. He was started on oral steroids (1 mg/ kg) tapered sequentially every week. All signs of vasculitis resolved over a period of one month after which the silicone oil was removed. The patient maintained a visual acuity of 20/90 even after 3 months. There was no recurrence of vasculitis observed thereafter. CONCLUSION: Silicone oil induced vasculitis is a rarely described entity, especially as a manifestation of toxic posterior segment syndrome. This differential must be kept in mind even on the first post-operative day in cases where silicone oil has been used for tamponade.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis can involve any organ in the body including ocular tissue of which the uveal tissue is most commonly infected. Choroidal involvement ranges from choroidal tubercles to granulomas. This is one of the few cases of a solitary choroidal granuloma with no other systemic symptoms in an immunocompetent child. METHOD: A case report. RESULTS: A 12-year-old female, presented with diminution of vision in the left eye for a month. The anterior segment of her left eye was normal. A fundus examination revealed an isolated orangish-yellow choroidal mass, 4 DD in size, involving the posterior pole with overlying subretinal exudation. CT scan of the thorax showed large pulmonary, cervical and pancreatic lymph nodes, along with lytic lesions of the thoracic vertebrae. Excision biopsy of the cervical lymph nodes showed caseating granulomas with no e/o malignancies on histopathology. The patient was started on anti-tubercular therapy. Six months after the treatment, the lesion had reduced in size and her vision had improved. CONCLUSION: Isolated choroidal tuberculomas can be present in eyes with little associated ocular inflammation and no other symptoms of systemic tuberculosis. High suspicion, early diagnosis and rapid initiation of medication are important for the treatment of ocular and systemic tuberculosis.
