Associate Prof. MD., Baskent University Medical School, Ophthalmology Department, Adana, Turkey DOI : 10.37845/ret.vit.2020.29.46 A 55-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with complaints of visual impairment that started 9 months ago in his right eye. Previously he was diagnosed as idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (CNV); but did not receive any treatment before consulting our clinic. Fundus examination revealed a slightly elevated, yellowish-white lesion at the superior macular region in the right eye. Fluorescein angiography showed early patchy hyperfl uorescence with late diffuse staining of this area. The choroidal neovascular membrane was not detected. B-scan sonography revealed a hyper-echoic choroidal lesion with acoustic shadowing. The lesion was diagnosed as choroidal osteoma. This case report presents the clinical fi ndings of the patient with choroidal osteoma-related CNV that improved spontaneously. Keywords : Choroidal osteoma, Choroidal neovascularization
