Sumario:PURPOSE: To describe the presence of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) in serpiginous-like choroiditis (SLC) in presumed intraocular tuberculosis. OBSERVATIONS: Clinical and multimodal imaging including fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, and spectral domain and enhanced-deep imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) of two cases of SLC in presumed intraocular tuberculosis. Two patients (26 and 38-year-old woman) presented with unilateral, decreased vision of acute onset. They were diagnosed with SLC in presumed intraocular tuberculosis, and OCT revealed splitting of the ellipsoid zone, resembling BALAD. All two patients showed complete resolution after treatment with antitubercular therapy (ATT). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: BALAD appears in the acute stage of SLC in presumed intraocular tuberculosis and resolves rapidly at the beginning of ATT.
