  • Title: Dual lesion margins on fundus autofluorescence associated with paradoxical worsening following treatment for tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis.
    Author: Mishra SB, Saoji K, Pathengay A.

    Abstract:
    A 31-year-old male presented with decreased vision in the right eye associated with an active plaque-like serpiginoid choroiditis. The lesion showed a unique feature of dual margins of hyperautofluorescence of the lesion on fundus autofluoresence (FAF) imaging. Systemic investigations suggested a tubercular etiology. He was started on antitubercular treatment and a conventional dose of oral corticosteroids (1mg/kg body weight). However, the lesions showed paradoxical worsening and required increased immunosuppression in the form of local steroids and oral immunomodulators. The presence of dual margins of hyperautofluorescence could suggest increased inflammatory activity leading to paradoxical worsening on treatment requiring increased immunosuppression.
