  • Title: Bilateral Frosted Branch Angiitis in a Patient with Tuberculous Meningoencephalitis.
    Author: Wang H, Wang L, Du F, Zhang P, Wang Y.
    Journal: Eye Sci; 2015 Jun; 30(2):75-6. PubMed ID: 26902066.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To present a case of frosted branch angiitis with tuberculous meningoencephalitis who was followed up for 18 months after treatment. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 19-year-old female with tuberculous meningoencephalitis complained of bilateral blurred vision, and presented with frosted branch angiitis and macula edema in both eyes. Treatment with systemic glucocorticoid and standard anti-tuberculosis medicine totally resolved the retinal periphlebitis and macular edema, with vision improvement achieved at the 18-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Frosted branch angiitis could be secondary to tuberculous meningoencephalitis. Based on standard anti-tuberculosis medicine, systemic glucocorticoid may help in the remission of frosted branch angiitis.
