“… The histopathological report of the hysterectomy specimen may be relevant in this case, and it would be interesting to know the result of the same if it was available. Choroidal tuberculosis is usually bilateral in disseminated tuberculosis [ 7 ]. Though a unilateral presentation is possible, minute indirect ophthalmoscopic examination of the fellow eye is important to rule out small tubercles which may even be present in the mid-periphery.…”

Phthisis bulbi denotes end-stage eye disease characterized by shrinkage and disorganization of the eye with the resultant functional loss. The major factors associated with the pathogenesis of phthisis are hypotony, deranged blood-ocular barriers, and inflammation. Common causes include trauma, surgery, infection, inflammation, malignancy, retinal detachment, and vascular lesions. A phthisical globe shows a small squared off shape, opaque and thickened cornea, thickened sclera, neovascularization of iris, cataract, cyclitic membrane, ciliochoroidal detachment, and retinal detachment. Microscopic features include internal disorganization, inflammatory reaction, a reactive proliferation of various cells, calcification, and ossification. Early treatment of the causative etiology is the best strategy available to avoid an eye from going into phthisis. A phthisical eye has no visual potential and cosmetic rehabilitation or symptomatic relief of pain remains the mainstay in the management. The authors present a comprehensive review of the etiopathogenesis, pathology, clinical features, and management of the end-stage ocular disease.
