3D Reconstruction with Spiral Computed Tomography in Choroidal Osteoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Choroidal osteoma (CO) is a rare, ossifying benign tumor originated in the choroid that typically occurs in otherwise healthy young women (1,2). It is characterized by a yellowish, well demarcated lesion in the juxtapapillary or macular area. The diagnosis is clinical and can be confirmed with the use of fluorescein or indocyanine angiography, optical coherence tomography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Choroidal neovascularization or subretinal fluid, the main causes for vision loss, can be treated with laser therapy, photodynamic therapy or intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. We present a case of choroidal osteoma, showing the role of the high resolution 3D spiral computed tomography.

Choroidal osteoma.
Choroidal osteomas are benign, juxtapapillary, choroidal tumors that mandate no treatment. They occur predominantly in young (median age, 20 years) females (90%). While ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography reveal suggestive ophthalmic findings, echography, plain radiography, and especially computed tomography (CT) are important in establishing the correct diagnosis. These lesions may be c...
متن کاملUnilateral Choroidal Osteoma with Evidence of Choroidal Neovascularization Based on Ocular Coherence Tomography Angiography
Purpose: Choroidal osteoma is a rare tumor which features intraocular bone formation. This tumor can be complicated by choroidal neovascularization which is a cause of impaired vision in this condition. We present a case of choroidal osteoma with choroidal neovascularization as a complication. Methods: Case report with clinical and angiographic correlation. Results: A 16 year old female present...
متن کاملChoroidal osteoma with choroidal neovascular membrane: Successful treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab
An otherwise healthy 27-year-old woman presented with complaints of sudden painless blurred vision in the right eye for one week. On examination, visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/20 in left eye. Fundus examination OS was normal, but OD demonstrated an elevated, opaque, yellowish parapapillary choroidal lesion with grayish membrane associated with minimal subretinal fluid, suggest...
متن کاملReal-time in vivo micromorphology and histopathology of choroidal osteoma using enhanced depth imaging
Choroidal osteoma is a usually unilateral benign tumor of the choroid composed of mature bone. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used to image osteoma for several years. With the advent of enhanced depth imaging (EDI) feature of spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), better visualization of the morphology of choroidal lesions has been possible. Herein we present a case of choroidal osteoma in ...
متن کاملOsteoma Cutis of the Face in CBCT Images
Osteoma cutis (OC) is a rare benign disorder where osseous nodules form in the reticular layer of normal skin. These nodules are formed by the deposition of lamellar bone and are characterized by osteocytes in the core and osteoclasts around the periphery. Interpretation of osteoma cutis cases has always been challenging especially using conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiographs, owing to d...
