    Description
    Fundus montage of the right eye of a 27 year old male with macula threatening occlusive vasculitis showing hemorrhages in inferior, temporal quadrant with vascular sheathing. The patient was Mantoux positive (20 mm induration) and IGRA (TB-GOLD)positive and started on oral steroids. The case was atypical due to no vitritis at presentation which is unusual of tuberculosis. Behcet's disease was ruled out as there was no panuveitis like picture.
