Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Ocular Oncology

Background:

  • Choroidal osteoma is a rare, benign ossifying tumor of the choroid.
  • It typically affects young adults, with limited data on pediatric cases.
  • Early diagnosis and monitoring are crucial for visual prognosis.

Observation:

  • An 8-month-old infant presented with bilateral posterior pole yellow stippling.
  • The patient was monitored for 8 years, revealing progressive changes.
  • Clinical examination showed creamy, irregular, scalloped lesions in both fundi.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography confirmed bilateral bony plates at the posterior pole.
  • This imaging finding is characteristic of choroidal osteoma.
  • The patient's age at diagnosis is notably young.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known age range for choroidal osteoma presentation.
  • Highlights the importance of recognizing subtle fundic changes in infants.
  • Suggests the need for long-term surveillance in pediatric choroidal osteoma cases.
