Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of sclerochoroidal calcifications and describe the appearance of these lesions using optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging (EDI-OCT) technology.

Design: Case Report

Methods: An 85-year-old patient who presented with bilateral retinal lesions suspected to be metastases was evaluated with slit-lamp biomicroscopy, funduscopy, fluorescein angiography, B-scan ultrasonography (U/S), and EDI-OCT.

Results: B-scan U/S demonstrated echo-dense consolidations in the choroid bilaterally with acoustic shadowing consistent with sclerochoroidal calcifications. EDI-OCT revealed hyper-reflective lesions with decreased reflectivity posterior to the lesion.

Conclusions: Sclerochoroidal calcifications should be included in the differential of choroidal masses, given their unique appearance on EDI-OCT.

Declaration of interest: QDN is the recipient of the Physician Scientist Award from the Research to Prevent Blindness and the RO1 Award from the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health (EY17577). QDN, DVD, and the Johns Hopkins University have received research support from Heidelberg Engineering, Inc. and Optos, Inc. QDN has served on the Scientific Advisory Board for Heidelberg, Inc.
