Ocular tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disorder whose manifestations are very varied. We report the case of a patient from a tuberculosis-endemic country, presenting a multifocal choroiditis. The etiological investigation oriented the diagnosis towards a tubercular origin. Antituberculosis treatment was recommended in combination with corticosteroid therapy, the course was marked by stabilization of the lesions and a slight improvement in visual acuity. In TB-endemic countries the diagnosis should be made in the presence of multifocal choroiditis in order to provide appropriate treatment.
