چکیده

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 presented with a choroidal osteoma in the left eye complicated by choroidal neovascularization. The patient was treated with Bevacizumab; an intravitreal anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti-VEGF). Following treatment there was improvement in vision as well as resolution of the choroidal neovascular membrane. Conclusion: We present a case of choroidal osteoma with choroidal neovascular membranes. Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with choroidal osteoma may be safely treated with bevacizumab. Larger studies are required to fully evaluate the management and long-term outcomes of anti-VEGF therapy for CNV associated with choroidal osteoma.

Intravitreal ranibizumab for treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to a bilateral choroidal osteoma

Purpose Choroidal osteomas are benign intraocular tumors that classically present in females. Despite their benign nature, significant visual acuity loss can occur due to retinal pigment epithelium degeneration. We report an unusual case of bilateral choroidal osteoma in a young boy. Observation A 16 year old boy presented to the Aga Khan University Hospital with a history of painless, bilate...

Bone Remodeling in Choroidal Osteoma Monitored by Fundus Photography and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossifying tumor of the choroid, consisting of mature bone tissue. It has been described to enlarge and evolve at varying rates over time. Here, we report and quantify the progression of a unilateral choroidal osteoma in a 7-year-old boy by fundus photography, and document tumor remodeling by spectral domain optical coherence tomography images.
