We present the case of a 39-year-old man with bilateral sclerochoroidal calcification with primary hyperparathyroidism. Both the calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were elevated. Funduscopic examination revealed slightly elevated, multiple yellow lesions in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography showed filling defects of the choroid. Ultrasonography showed elevated, highly reflective lesions, and a computed tomography scan of the globe disclosed sclerochoroidal lesions with high density. We discuss the mechanism of sclerochoroidal calcification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
