To Tuberculosis has re-emerged as a serious public health problem, raising the possibility that tuberculous eye disease may also become more prevalent. Although ocular tuberculosis associated with central nervous system tuberculoma has rarely been reported in the literature, prompt treatment can save sight. This report is of a 28-year-old man with ocular tuberculosis associated with subparietal tuberculoma who lost sight in one eye.

Key words: Isoniazid, Tuberculoma, intracranial, Tuberculosis, ocular
