Abstract

This report describes a case of unilateral pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA) in a patient with low-grade unilateral intermediate uveitis. A 31-year-old woman, previously diagnosed with intermediate uveitis in the right eye (OD) presented to the clinic. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OD. Fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, autofluorescence, and optical coherence tomography OD were in keeping with a phenotypic diagnosis of PPRCA. Electrophysiology showed severe photoreceptor dysfunction of both the rod and the cone systems OD. Systemic workup revealed QuantiFERON-gold positive. This is the first report of unilateral PPRCA secondary to presumed ocular tuberculosis. [ Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:345–349.]
