A rare and unusual manifestation of choroidal osteoma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
We present a case of choroidal osteoma in a 63-year-old man. Fundus examination revealed two yellowish-white lesions in the posterior pole. Ultrasonic B-scan echography showed two highly reflective lesions. Computed tomography also disclosed bone density lesions. Optical coherence tomography images of these lesions revealed hypo reflective with intrinsic hyper reflective dots. Choroidal osteoma is commonly a solitary lesion; our findings may contribute to a better understanding of this rare condition. Keywords: choroidal osteoma, sclerochoroidal calcification, optical coherence tomography.
