Popis:	Tubercular granulomas are a common manifestation of intraocular tuberculosis. These are said to be hypoxic granulomas with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Management of these granulomas includes a combination of antitubercular therapy (ATT) and oral corticosteroids. We report a case of tubercular granuloma with exudative retinal detachment which was treated with weekly intravitreal anti-VEGF and antibiotic injections along with ATT and corticosteroids. The VEGF levels measured paralleled with the clinical regression of the granuloma.
