Abstract
Choroidal granuloma is a rare presentation of tuberculosis especially in immunocompetent individuals. We present a case of a young female with marked decrease in visual acuity of the left eye and a choroidal lesion on fundus examination however with no systemic manifestation of tuberculosis except a positive Mantoux test. A presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis was made and the patient was put on anti tubercular treatment with corticosteroids to which she showed drastic improvement. Thus it is important to have a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis and treatment in these eyes.
