    Abstract:
    Ocular manifestations of tuberculosis are non-specific and polymorphic as they can affect all the tunics of the eye and cause severe visual loss in the absence of early and appropriate treatment. We here report 2 casesof pseudotumoral ocular tuberculosis with favorable outcome under antibacillary treatment; the first patient recently had had spontaneous burst of the eyeball with exit of a burgeoning fleshy and suppurative mass measuring 10cm/6cm, the second patient had granuloma of the ciliary body mimicking melanoma; then we here discuss the clinical and therapeutic particularities of this disease. Les manifestations oculaires de la tuberculose sont non spécifiques et polymorphes pouvant toucher toutes les tuniques de l’œil et entrainer une perte visuelle sévère en l’absence d’un traitement précoce et adapté. Nous rapportons 2 cas de forme pseudo tumorale de tuberculose oculaire ayant bien évolué sous traitement anti bacillaire; le premier présentant un éclatement spontané récent du globe avec issue d’une masse bourgeonnante charnue et suppurée de 10cm/6cm, le second patient présente un granulome du corps ciliaire mimant un mélanome; puis nous discutons les particularités cliniques et thérapeutiques de cette affection.
