ABSTRACT

Male patient of 12 years is described, known healthy, that consulted by marked decreased vision in the left eye. The Neuroretinitis is a clinical entity consisting of a visual loss of moderate to severe papilledema, macular exudates in a star pattern, and floating vitreous inflammation. Although its etiology is often idiopathic post viral or 60% of cases, acute infection as in Tuberculosis is caused occasionally. This case is extremely rare, due not only to be a Neuroretinitis but to be present in a young man documenting tuberculosis without pulmonary involvement.
