Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography Features of Choroidal Osteoma

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] In 2000, Ide et al 18 Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography is a noninvasive imaging technique providing high-resolution images of the retina and the choroid up to 5 mm. 20,21 In agreement to previous reports, 12-14 the osteoma was a well defined choroidal lesion with a sponge-like appearance because of the presence of multiple hyperreflective dots scattered among a hyporeflective mass. 19 In our analysis, EDI-OCT allowed an accurate investigation of retinal, choroidal, and tumor features in eyes affected by choroidal osteoma.…”

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) .…”

Choroidal osteoma: the varied response of subretinal fluid to anti-VEGF agents

“…It is hypothesised that SRD in choroidal osteoma could be due to compromised overlying RPE as is evident from the RPE staining on FFA. Various histopathological studies in the past have also confirmed the disintegrity of RPE overlying choroidal osteoma 9 10. The increase in the hydrostatic pressure leads to the escape of fluid to subretinal space due to the overlying compromised RPE.…”
