We report an unusual presentation of ocular tuberculosis with subretinal abscess with associated posterior scleritis. This is a first-of-its-kind report of such an association. A 26-year-old female presented to us with complaints of redness, pain, and decreased vision in her left eye since 1 week. On examination, the vision in her right eye was 6/6 and in the left eye was 1/60. Detailed ocular evaluation revealed exudative retinal detachment, subretinal abscess, and disk edema. Ocular and systemic investigations were consistent with presumed tubercular etiology and posterior scleritis. The patient was treated with a course of anti-tubercular therapy, under cover of oral steroids. The vision improved in subsequent visits and at the last follow-up 6 months later, the lesion had resolved completely with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40.
