CHOROIDAL OSTEOMA – A CASE SERIES
Abstract
We report a case series of choroidal osteoma, a rare benign tumor of the eye. The diagnosis can be arrived with the help of multimodal imaging techniques of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) B-scan and Fundus Fluorescein Angiography. In this case series we can see typical fundus findings of yellow orange lesion commonly in juxtapapillary area and hyper reflective lines with posterior delineation in OCT and calcification with after shadowing in Bscan. Tumor can be associated with choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) threatening vision. In such cases intravitreal bevacizumab were helpful in restoring vision. A serial follow up of these patients is required to assess CNVM and decalcification of the osteoma.
