BILATERAL CHOROIDAL OSTEOMA

SHALINI P

Abstract


Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossifying tumor characterized by mature bone replacing choroid. The  condition is reported rarely and hence poses diagnostic   difficulties. We report a case of a 25 year old lady who  presented with complaint of defective vision in both eyes and was referred as a case of chorioretinal scar. A 25 yr old young lady presented to us with complaints of seeing dark shadows in front of eyes for the past 7 years. Her best corrected visual acuity in right eye was 636 and left eye was 660.Slit lamp evaluation revealed a normal anterior segment. Fundus          examination showed peripapillary lesion that is yellow-white to orange-red in color. Thin, atrophic, yellow-gray regions with associated RPE atrophy were seen. Ultrasound B scan           demonstrated calcification in the posterior pole. Optical          Coherence Tomography (OCT) revealed loss of foveal            thickness with sub and parafoveal hypereflective RPE         suggestive of scar and calcification .The patient was          investigated to rule out metabolic disorders.
