Summary
Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification (ISCC) cases were analyzed, distinguishing them from choroidal osteoma. This review clarifies ISCC
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
- Pathology
Background:
- Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification (ISCC) is a rare condition.
- Distinguishing ISCC from choroidal osteoma is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
- Previous literature includes misclassified cases, necessitating a clear differentiation.
Observation:
- Two cases of ISCC with long-term follow-up (2 and 10 years) are presented.
- A review of 102 choroidal osteoma cases identified six misclassified ISCC reports.
- Clinical and angiographic characteristics of ISCC were documented.
Findings:
- ISCC presents distinct clinical manifestations and angiographic features.
- Six cases initially reported as choroidal osteoma were reclassified as ISCC.
- Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification can be mistaken for choroidal osteoma.
Implications:
- Accurate differentiation between ISCC and choroidal osteoma is essential.
- Understanding ISCC's features aids in correct diagnosis.
- This review clarifies diagnostic criteria for intraocular calcium salt deposition.
