title: Frosted branch angiitis in a woman with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of frosted branch angiitis in a patient with tuberculous meningitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 27-year-old woman of tuberculous meningitis was referred to us complaining of blurred vision for 2 days. Prominent white sheathing of the retinal venules and, to a much lesser extent, arterioles, consistent with frosted branch angiitis were also observed in both eyes. And after treatment with systemic anti-tuberculosis medications and steroid, frosted branch angiitis showed resolution.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Frosted branch angiitis can be caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Systemic anti-tubercular therapy and steroids were effective.
