Core Tip This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by posterior uveitis in patients with underlying autoimmune conditions such as celiac disease and recurrent anemia, especially in tuberculosis-endemic regions. The presence of erythema nodosum and systemic symptoms can mimic other granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis, making timely and accurate diagnosis difficult. However, a comprehensive evaluation including immunological testing, history of tuberculosis, family history, and response to antitubercular therapy was pivotal in establishing presumed tubercular chorioretinitis as the diagnosis. The case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for ocular tuberculosis and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to management, utilizing antitubercular drugs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants when necessary, to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
