fore be effective, by decreasing vascular permeability. The spontaneous resolution of choroidal ischemia has been reported previously [5], but in our case, because the patient showed no signs of any functional or anatomic improvement after observation for a week, we decided to treat the patient with IVB, which led to prompt visual and anatomical recovery. This is the first case report of the oc...

Choroidal osteoma is a rare benign intraocular tumor composed of calcification throughout the choroid. Various treatment modalities are available according to location of the tumor and the cause of the visual distortion. We report herein a 30-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with acute blurred vision as a result of the subretinal hemorrhage from choroidal osteoma. We ruled out the...

OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with bilateral multifocal choroidal metastases from an endobronchial carcinoid treated with a somatostatin analogue. METHOD A 60-year-old woman presenting with photopsia in the left eye underwent an extensive ophthalmic examination, including fluorescein angiography, OCT and ultrasound. RESULTS Fundoscopy revealed a small retinal tear in the left eye, for whi...

PURPOSE To report the morphologic features of a choroidal osteoma using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). METHODS Two eyes of two cases with a choroidal osteoma were studied using SS-OCT and FAF. RESULTS The location of the tumor was circumpapillary without macular involvement in case 1 and juxtapapillary with macular involvement in case 2...

Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossified tumor that is found predominantly in healthy young women during their second and third decades of life. The lesions are white-to-cream or orange in color, are located in the peripapillary and macular areas, and are unilateral in most patients. The symptoms of choroidal osteoma include decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia or scotoma corresponding to t...

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 o...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) plays an instrumental role in the diagnosis and follow-up of several retinal and choroidal diseases such as macular degeneration, vascular occlusion, and inflammation. Recently, OCT studies of intraocular tumors evaluated the intrinsic optical characteristics of choroidal tumors imaged using enhanced depth imaging OCT (EDI-OCT). Among body structures, the chor...

Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma is an uncommon, benign vascular tumor manifesting as an orange-red mass in the posterior pole of the eye. Serous retinal detachment accounts for decreased vision in most patients. Diagnosis of this tumor is challenging with many patients initially misdiagnosed with choroidal melanoma or metastasis. Several ancillary tests such as ultrasonography, fluorescein a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate tumor control and treatment complications following plaque radiotherapy combined with transpupillary thermotherapy for choroidal melanoma. DESIGN Prospective noncomparative interventional case series. INTERVENTION All patients received treatment for choroidal melanoma using plaque radiotherapy followed by 3 sessions of transpupillary thermotherapy provided at plaque re...
