Choroidal hyperpermeability in central serous choroidopathy: a new concept?

Archives of ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)·1995

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Choroidal tumors are rare intraocular neoplasms requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Meningothelial meningiomas, typically found in the central nervous system, can rarely occur in the eye.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male presented with a choroidal tumor 1.5 disc diameters from the optic disc.
  • The tumor demonstrated significant growth, doubling in size over 29 months to 8x8x5 mm.

Findings:

  • The intraocular tumor was surgically resected via internal eye wall resection.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of meningothelial meningioma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering meningothelial meningioma in the differential diagnosis of intraocular tumors.
  • Surgical resection is a viable treatment option for symptomatic or growing choroidal meningiomas.
  • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of ocular meningiomas is warranted.
