Sclerochoroidal Calcifications: Wide-Field Imaging

Abstract

Purpose: To report the clinical and angiographic appearance of sclerochoroidal calcifications utilizing Optos wide-field fundus imaging. Methods: Case Report Results: An 80 year-old white female presented with blurred vision in her right eye. On examination she was found to have arc-shaped lesions that were superior to the macula in each eye. Diagnostic studies included ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and wide-field fundus imaging with fluorescein angiography. These studies confirmed the diagnosis of sclerochoroidal calcifications. Metabolic studies were performed, as these may be a manifestation of abnormal calcium metabolism. Conclusion: Sclerochoroidal calcifications are an unusual fundus lesion, and we have found Optos wide-field fundus imaging to be an important asset in the diagnosis of this rare entitiy.
