Abstract
Choroidal osteoma is a usually unilateral benign tumor of
the choroid composed of mature bone. Optical coherence
tomography (OCT) has been used to image osteoma for several
years. With the advent of enhanced depth imaging (EDI)
feature of spectral‑domain OCT (SD‑OCT), better visualization
of the morphology of choroidal lesions has been possible.
Herein we present a case of choroidal osteoma in a 45‑year‑old
woman, wherein in vivo morphology of the choroidal osteoma
had been visualized using EDI technique of SD‑OCT before
and after performing photodynamic therapy. EDI OCT has
proven to be a valuable noninvasive imaging modality, almost
comparable to histopathological examination, for diagnosing
choroidal osteomas and for providing an insight into the in vivo
micromorphological changes occurring during the course of the
disease.
