CASE REPORT: A healthy 57 year-old woman with past untreated pulmonary tuberculosis, disclosed a bilateral uveitic syndrome characte rized by iritis, vitreitis, multiple peripheral retinal punched-out lesions, and cystoid macular edema. Systemic evaluation was unremarkable except for a 30 mm tuberculin skin test. Relapses occurred after oral and periocular corticosteroids were interrupted, but the inflammation completely disappeared after a 6 month course of isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide. DISCUSSION: Intraocular tuberculosis should be considered as a treatable cause of peripheral multifocal choroiditis, after ruling out other etiologies.
