Abstract

We report two cases of concurrent choroidal and multiple intracranial tuberculomas which israre. A 45-year-old man presented to the hospital with a history of miliary tuberculosis,headache, and blurred vision on his left eye. The other case, a 25-year-old woman complainedof coughing, back pain, night sweats, headache, nausea and vomiting. Their neurologicalexamination were unremarkable except the presence of a choroidal lesion in one of their eyes,and brain MRIs revealed peripheral ring enhancing nodules. They were diagnosed asconcurrent intracranial and choroidal tuberculomas and four-drug antituberculous regimenwas started. After these treatments, the choroidal and brain tuberculomas revealed significantregression. Early diagnosis, adequate treatment and follow-up for the response to thetreatment of choroidal tuberculoma can prevent serious complications. Detailed ocularexaminations should be performed in all cases with tuberculosis, for possible presence ofearly asymptomatic choroidal tuberculoma.

Özet

Nadir görülen koroidal ve çok sayıda intrakraniyal tüberkülomu olan iki olgu sunulmaktadır.Öksürük, sırt ağrısı, gece terlemeleri, baş ağrısı, bulantı ve kusması olan 25 yaşındaki kadınhastayla milier tüberküloz öyküsü, baş ağrısı, sol gözle bulanık görmesi olan 45 yaşındakierkek hasta hastaneye başvurdu. Nörolojik muayenelerinde bir gözlerinde koroidal lezyonsaptanması dışında patalojik bulgu yoktu, kranyal MRG'lerinde halkasal tarzda kontrast tutannodüller saptandı. Hastalara intrakranyal ve koroidal tüberkülom tanıları konularak dörtlüantituberkülo tedavi başlandı. Bu tedaviden sonra koroidal ve intrakraniyal tüberkülomlardabelirgin düzelme saptandı. Koroidal tüberkülomlarda erken tanı, etkin tedavi ve tedaviyeyanıtın takibi ciddi komplikasyonları önleyebilir. Erken asemptomatik koroidal tüberkülomolasılığı nedeniyle tüm tüberküloz vakalarına detaylı göz muayenesi yapılmalıdır.
