[Cardiovascular diseases and ocular tuberculosis].

The pattern of cardiovascular diseases (61%) was studied in patients with tuberculous uveitis, there was a prevalence of primary (34.6%) and secondary (8.6%) arterial hypertensions. There was an association of complicated tuberculous uveitis (subretinal neovascularization, pigment and neuronal epithelial detachment) with the presence of cardiovascular diseases, central and peripheral hemodynamic disorders. A greater reduction in visual functions was ascertained in concurrent abnormalities in the experimental group (0.55 +/- 0.07) than in the controls (0.80 +/- 0.04). The paper recommends that patients with eye tuberculosis and contaminant cardiovascular diseases should be registered and the continuity of their combined antituberculous and pathogenetic treatments ensured; functional studies expanded to make an early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in patients with tuberculous uveitis; the efficiency of treating the underlying and concomitant cardiovascular diseases separately evaluated.

MRI features of tuberculoma of the right atrial myocardium.

Myocardial tuberculosis is an infrequent disease. Until now, the diagnosis has largely been made at necropsy. Only a few reports describe the antemortem diagnosis of myocardial tuberculosis. We describe the MRI features in a 12-year-old boy with myocardial tuberculoma of the right atrium. He also had intracerebral tuberculoma. The diagnosis was later confirmed by biopsy.
