A 32-year-old female presented with decreased central vision in the right eye to our tertiary eye center (Khatam Eye Hospital) affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Institutional review board approval was obtained for this case report. Complete ophthalmic examination was done. BCVA was 20/100 on the right and 20/20 on the left one. Ophthalmoscopy revealed bilateral multifocal yellow-orange elevated choroidal masses with distinct borders at the posterior pole. The left eye was conspicuous in its macular tumor as well as juxtapapillary foci, indicative of multifocal nature of the lesion ().\nFundus autofluorescence (FAF) images revealed the calcified parts of the tumor to be isoautofluorescent (AF) or mild hyper-AF on the left, whereas the lesion was variable (hypo-hyper AF) on the right side, possibly due to RPE changes, which in turn stemmed from decalcification, CNV, and subretinal fluid (SRF) (). Fluorescein angiography (FAG) demonstrated variable hyperfluorescence of the tumor on both sides as well as CNV in the right eye (). Indocyanine green angiography (ICG), in early to mid-phase, showed the well-defined tumor to be hypofluorescent with CNV on the right side ().\nB-scan ultrasonography (NIDEK Echo scan US-4000, Gamagori, Japan) indicated hyperechogenicity of the tumor on both sides. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) (Spectralis HRA + OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) disclosed the thinning of choriocapillaries as well as large choroidal vessels, which were invisible in the calcified parts. Outer retinal abnormalities were attributed to CNV in the right eye. These regions also showed the disturbance of the outer retinal layers whereas the inner retina turned out to be entirely intact. The tumor displayed smooth undulating surface with horizontal layered hyperreflective lines in the tumor (). Orbital computerized tomography (CT) scan showed hyperdense plaques, with bone like homogeneity in the posterior pole. Two plaques were seen in the left eye ().\nThe final diagnosis of bilateral multifocal choroidal osteoma in association with CNV in the right eye was made based on multimodal imaging findings. The decalcified portion of tumor on the right was yellowish-white in color.\nThe safe conclusion pertaining to the above details was suggestive of the trend whereby tumor calcification and CNV had led to visual loss on the right eye. Thus, the patient received injections of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA) in the right eye, which subsequently improved the BCVA to 20/40. This BCVA sustained during nine months of follow-up.
A 28-year-old female patient presented with metamorphopsia in her left eye starting 2 days earlier. There was nothing of note in her medical or family history, and her visual acuity was 1.0 in the right eye and 0.8 with -5.0 D refraction in the left eye. Anterior segment examination was normal. Fundus examination was normal in the right eye, but macular pigmentary alterations were observed in the left eye (). On FFA there was hyperfluorescence beginning in the early phases and increasing in the late phase, which was more suggestive of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) than CSCR (). Although it is recommended for a definitive diagnosis, ICGA was not done. Despite smooth foveal contours in the left eye on OCT, an area of subfoveal focal choroidal excavation and overlying hyporeflective subretinal fluid were detected (). The lesion in the patient’s left eye was accepted as CNVM and an intravitreal bevacizumab injection was administered. At follow-up 1 month later, the patient’s symptoms had improved, vision in her left eye improved to 0.9 and the hyporeflective area evident on OCT had decreased in size. At 2-year follow-up, visual acuity in the left eye was 0.8 and persistent RPE changes were observed on fundoscopy (). Hyperfluorescence which increased slightly in the late phases was observed on FFA of the left eye (). On OCT, the focal choroidal excavation remained unchanged, the overlying hyporeflective area had resolved and the photoreceptor layer appeared continuous ().
