Tuberculous interstitial keratitis
The features of tubercular interstitial keratitis are
similar to syphilitic interstitial keratitis except that it
is more frequently unilateral and sectorial (usuallysimilar to syphilitic interstitial keratitis except that it
involving a lower sector of cornea).
Treatment consists of systemic antitubercular drugs,
topical steroids and cycloplegics.
Cogan's syndrome
This syndrome comprises the interstitial keratitis of
unkown etiology, acute tinnitis, vertigo, and
deafness. It typically occurs in middle-aged adults
and is often bilateral.
Treatment consists of topical and systemic corticosteroids. An early treatment usually prevents permanent deafness and blindness.
The characteristics of each condition of Tuberculous interstitial keratitis and Cogan's syndrome differ but meet at the same point when it comes to their treatment. I guess some conditions will inevitably become similar with each other, be it physiological diseases or even psychological disorders.
