Focal choroidal calcification

L L Basta, C P Wilkenson, L S Anderson

    Annals of Ophthalmology
    |April 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Localized choroidal calcification, a rare finding in healthy individuals, was observed in two men. Diagnostic imaging confirmed these calcifications within choroidal nevi, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Choroidal nevi are benign melanocytic tumors in the choroid.
    • Calcification within ocular tissues is uncommon, particularly in healthy individuals.

    Observation:

    • Two healthy men presented with clinically detected localized choroidal calcification.
    • The lesions exhibited characteristics consistent with choroidal nevi.
    • One patient also showed signs of overlying drusen.

    Findings:

    • Echography (A-scan and B-scan) identified a highly reflective, dense choroidal mass with ultrasound beam attenuation.
    • Orbital radiography and CT scans corroborated the echographic findings of choroidal calcification.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights the presence of choroidal calcification in choroidal nevi.

  • Advanced imaging techniques are crucial for diagnosing and characterizing such findings.
  • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis and clinical significance of calcification in choroidal nevi.
