Abstract |
The choroidal osteoma is a very unusual, benign osseous tumor of the choroid with unknown etiology. It is typically found in healthy young female in the second or third decade of life. This tumor is clinically unilateral and tend to be located in the juxtapapillary region.It appears as yellow-white to yellow-red lesion with well-defined geographic borders. The characteristic bony lesion could be demonstrated by ultrasonographic and computed tomographic examinations. We report a case of atypical choroidal osteoma located at the posterior pole of both eyes in a 7-year-old boy with chief complaints of headache and blurred vision. |
