Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification (ISC) is a rare benign eye condition. Early diagnosis using imaging can prevent misdiagnosis as malignant tumors, avoiding unnecessary tests.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification (ISC) is a rare, benign disorder affecting the choroid and sclera.
  • First described 12 years ago, ISC is often misdiagnosed.
  • Clinical confusion arises with conditions like osteoma, choroidal metastasis, and lymphoma infiltration.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old patient presented with unusual bilateral fundus changes.
  • Ophthalmoscopy revealed yellowish, placoid-like lesions in the superotemporal fundus of both eyes.
  • The lesion in the left eye was less distinct.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging, including fluorescein angiography and echography, confirmed bilateral ISC.
  • Echography and angiography are key to accurate diagnosis.

  • Misdiagnosis can lead to extensive, unnecessary investigations.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate and timely diagnosis of ISC is crucial.
    • Distinguishing ISC from malignant tumors prevents patient anxiety and costly, invasive procedures.
    • Standardized diagnostic protocols can improve patient outcomes.
