GONZALEZ-GUIJARRO, J; ACEBES GARCIA, M e PEREZ CASAS, A. Choroidal osteoma and choroidal neovascularization. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.78, n.10, pp.571-574. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: A 27-year-old woman with metamorphopsia was diagnosed with choroidal osteoma (CO); concurrently choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was also suspected. Neither fluorescein angiography (FA) nor indocyanine green angiography showed signs of CNV. A course of oral corticosteroids improved the symptoms, but when it was interrupted, both, the ophthalmoscopic and the FA findings showed a well defined CNV. Two years following green argon laser photocoagulation the CNV is still inactive. Discussion: The clinical and angiographic heterogeneity of the CO can delay the diagnosis and treatment of an associated CNV.
