Aim of this study is to show that frosted branch angiitis can be the only presenting symptom of reactivated tubercular infection.: A female patient presented with severe diminution of vision in both eyes and bilateral severe form of retinal vasculitis. She had a positive skin tuberculin test. Radiological investigation (HRCT Chest) revealed an old healed infection in the form of fibrotic streaks.
