Abstract

Corneal tuberculosis is a rare ophthalmic manifestation of tuberculosis. The purpose of this study is to present clinical and histopathological findings in two cases of corneal tuberculosis. We reported corneal manifestation of tuberculosis in two patients including granulomatous lesion at upper third of the cornea in the first case, and sectorial interstitial keratitis in the second one. The diagnosis was based on various anamnestic, clinical, histological and evolutive arguments. An anti-tuberculosis treatment was prescribed.
