Abstract
- We found choroidal tubercles in two children with meningitis. This finding supposed an important clue in establishing a tuberculous etiology. Following, we discuss the evolution and fluorescein angiographic findings of choroidal tubercles. As many authors have remarked, a thorough fundus examination is of great value in cases of fever of undetermined origin and meningitis. Choroidal tubercles can also be the first sign of a common pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
