Sclerochoroidal calcification associated with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy

Sclerochoroidal calcification associated with hypovitaminosis D.

CASE REPORT A 69 year-old woman was referred for a routine visit, during which funduscopy revealed white-yellow subretinal lesions in the superotemporal mid-periphery of both eyes. A and B scan ultrasound showed hyperechogenic lesions located at scleral and choroidal level. Computed tomography revealed posterolateral sclerochoroidal calcifications. Metabolic studies showed a severe vitamin D de...

Sclerochoroidal calcification: clinical manifestations and systemic associations.

BACKGROUND Sclerochoroidal calcification is an unusual ocular condition that is believed to be idiopathic in most cases. OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical manifestations of sclerochoroidal calcification and to investigate its possible systemic associations. METHODS This noncomparative consecutive case series included patients diagnosed as having sclerochoroidal calcification based on clin...

Albright hereditary osteodystrophy

Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy.

Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by a typical phenotype. It may be associated with or without resistance to parathyroid hormone (pseudohypoparathyroidism). Both forms may co-exist in the same family. Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1 and Pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism occur as a consequence of reduced erythrocyte membrane coupled with Gs a...

Sclerochoroidal calcification associated with Gitelman syndrome and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition.

Sclerochoroidal calcification is an uncommon condition. Metabolic evaluation and clinical examination are important to exclude associated systemic conditions such as the Bartter and Gitelman syndromes. It has been suggested that the lesions seen in sclerochoroidal calcification are calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals. This report describes the first documented case in the UK of sclerochoro...
