Detailed explanation-1: -The most common ocular TB manifestation is granulomatous uveitis. The most common presentation is posterior uveitis. The most typical lesions related to ocular TB are choroidal granulomas, occlusive retinal vasculitis, and multifocal serpiginous-like choroiditis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clinical diagnosis: Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common infective cause of posterior uveitis in immunocompetent patients.
Detailed explanation-3: -This classification includes anterior uveitis (iritis, iridocyclitis, and anterior cyclitis), intermediate uveitis (para planitis, posterior cyclitis, and hyalitis), and posterior uveitis (focal, multifocal, or diffuse choroiditis, chorioretinitis, retinitis, and neuroretinitis).
Detailed explanation-4: -Only 10 in 100, 000 adults and three in 100, 000 children are diagnosed with noninfectious posterior uveitis. But interest in this often intractable, sight-threatening condition has never been greater.
