“…It usually involves disorganized ocular contents following trauma, inflammation, or glaucoma (Monselise et al, 1985;Trimble and Schatz, 1983;Zeiter, 1962). In these instances, the most affected site is the region of the RPE and the inner surface of the choroid (Finkelstein and Boniuk, 1969); anteriorly, it occurs mainly at the ora serrata and in cyclitic membranes (Monselise et al, 1985).…”

“…The present cases show that, although very rarely, these cells can also be stimulated to form heterotopic bone by a traumatic or inflammatory local event. Choroidal osteomas may, indeed, develop several years after the onset of an intraocular inflammatory disease (Trimble and Schatz, 1983), or after blunt trauma (Gass, 1979). In an experimental study undertaken to assess the osteogenic potential of the sclera, deposits of intrascleral bone were detected in 7/28 implants under the renal capsule of rabbits and were invariably associated with vascular ingrowth.…”

Heterotopic secondary ossification of the eye usually affects intraocular tissues. Although calcium deposition in the scleral lamellae is not uncommonly observed, bone formation is only rarely associated with chromosomal abnormalities or colobomatous eyes. Herein two cases of both scleral and intraocular ossification in patients with long-standing ocular phthisis are reported. The cases of idiopathic scleral ossification, albeit exceedingly rare, suggest that osteogenic precursor cells may reside in the sclera, as well and though very rarely, these cells can also be stimulated to form heterotopic bone by a traumatic or inflammatory local event.

“…3 In the majority of cases, choroidal osteoma occurs in healthy young females with no history of systemic or ocular disease, although several isolated cases of choroidal osteoma have been reported in association with pregnancy, 13,14 recurrent orbital inflammatory pseudotumour, 15 intraocular inflammation 16 and histiocytosis X. 17 The occurrence of choroidal osteoma has been documented in siblings, 11,18,19 which has led Noble 19 to suggest a hereditary nature of the condition.…”

Choroidal osteoma: evidence of progression and decalcification over 20 years

Choroidal osteoma is a rare, benign, ossifying tumour of the choroid of unknown aetiology. In contrast to other types of intraocular ossification, choroidal osteoma is found typically in young healthy females in the second or third decades of life with no history of systemic or ocular disease. Choroidal osteoma is a deep, pale yellow lesion with distinct geographic borders at the juxtapapillary or macular region, with branching 'spider' vessels on the surface of the tumour. These features should help differentiate choroidal osteoma from other types of intraocular tumour and the diagnosis can be confirmed with ultrasonography and computerised tomography. Here we report an initially unilateral case of choroidal osteoma, which decalcified over 20 years but during the same period the fellow eye also developed a choroidal osteoma to become a bilateral case. Despite the benign nature of the tumour, vision may be compromised by gradual atrophy of the overlying retina, serous retinal detachment, accumulation of sub-retinal fluid and sub-retinal haemorrhage associated with choroidal neovascularisation. Frequent examinations are recommended for patients with choroidal osteoma, for early detection of a subretinal neovascular membrane and potential treatment with laser photocoagulation.
