Magic of Intravitreal Triamcinolone and Dexamethasone in a Patient with Uveitic Macular Edema with Treated Ocular Tuberculosis
Agrawal A, Kharel Sitaula R

Abstract:
A 40-year-old woman with uveitic macular edema (UME) in a treated case of ocular tuberculosis (TB) is the subject of our unusual case study. She had full remission with a single intravitreal injection of triamcinolone and dexamethasone. Antiinflammatory drugs, topical steroids, and anti-tubercular therapy were used to address the patient’s history of recurrent anterior and intermediate uveitis in past. When intravitreal corticosteroids were administered, the big macular cysts and related retinal thickness that were seen on the optical coherence tomography (OCT) results disappeared.
