title: Bilateral Frosted Branch Angiitis in a Patient with Tuberculous Meningoencephalitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case of frosted branch angiitis with tuberculous meningoencephalitis who was followed up for 18 months after treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 19-year-old female with tuberculous meningoencephalitis complained of bilateral blurred vision, and presented with frosted branch angiitis and macula edema in both eyes. Treatment with systemic glucocorticoid and standard anti-tuberculosis medicine totally resolved the retinal periphlebitis and macular edema, with vision improvement achieved at the 18-month follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Frosted branch angiitis could be secondary to tuberculous meningoencephalitis. Based on standard anti-tuberculosis medicine, systemic glucocorticoid may help in the remission of frosted branch angiitis.
