Abstract
Ocular tuberculosis (TB) may present with various clinical manifestations and may involve any part of the eye. In 80% of cases, pulmonary involvement is not found. Here, we are presenting three cases of presumptive ocular TB with three rare manifestations. The first case is of bilateral retinal detachment involving one eye after another, the second case is of tubercular phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis with keratolysis, and the third case is of bilateral neuroretinitis with extensive cerebral involvement. Despite the availability of various tests, clinical findings, tuberculin skin test, chest X-ray, and computed tomography of the chest is still the primary basis of diagnosis of ocular TB in the tubercular endemic area, even in rare cases.
