Abstract
and Importance: This case highlights the discrepancy between clinical diagnosis and pathologic tissue diagnosis in a patient that presented with such extensive ocular vasculitic disease. Such extensive bilateral disease has not been reported. In addition, there are few studies regarding the effect of pulse-dosed IV steroids on TAB results. This case report suggests that the gradual histologic changes that occur over one or two weeks while on oral steroids may occur over three to four days while on high dose IV steroids, necessitating early biopsy.
