Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography of choroidal osteoma with secondary neovascular membranes: report of two cases

“…Medium-caliber vessels (Sattler's layer) showed thinning and no visibility in both cases, whereas large-caliber vessels (Haller's layer) appeared as thinned rims of vessels between the tumor and sclerochoroidal junction, as was recently reported (6) . This finding is supported by histopathologic evidence from previous reports (10) . EDI-OCT of the osteoma revealed a typical reflectivity pattern in both cases with the presence of hyperreflective horizontal lamellar lines, which were described in other reports (5,6) .…”

Dramatic response of choroidal neovascularization associated with choroidal osteoma to the intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (Avastin)

“…The surgical removal of subfoveal CNV has been performed successfully; however, the visual result has been poor [5]. Recently, there have been reports of PDT for osteoma-related CNV [3,4,10].…”

Intravitreal ranibizumab in a patient with choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroidal osteoma

“…1 The surgical removal of sufoveal CNV has been performed successfully, but the visual result has been poor. 2 Recently, PDT and transpupillary thermotherapy have been tried, but the visual result was also poor. [3][4] Intravitreal bevacizumab was carried out and improvement of visual acuity and regression of CNV was observed.…”

“…Before the implantation of IOL, and at the conclusion of irrigation/aspiration, PerfectCapsule was inserted into the anterior chamber filled with Provisc (Alcon Laboratories) and located over the capsulorhexis. 2 Suction through a syringe was applied, and the seal was tested for integrity using balanced salt with fluorescein. With the completion of sealing, 10 ml of 5-FU in a concentration of 50 mg/ml was irrigated through the capsular bag.…”
