Choroidal osteoma is a rare benign intraocular tumor composed of calcification throughout the choroid. Various treatment modalities are available according to location of the tumor and the cause of the visual distortion. We report herein a 30-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with acute blurred vision as a result of the subretinal hemorrhage from choroidal osteoma. We ruled out the presence of CNV and observation was preferred and we prevented unnecessary treatment attempts as spontaneous recovery is the easiest and safest way.
Retinal telangiectasia is a neuro-degenerative macular disease that is limited to juxtafoveal region in one or both eyes with capillary telangiectasia and focal retinal gliosis. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the main complications that cause visual deterioration in retinal telangiectasia. When patients develop CNV, rapid visual deterioration with subretinal hemorrhage, cystoid macular edema, hard exudates, disciform scar, and retinocoroidal anastomosis may occur. In our review article we discussed CNV in retinal telangiectasia and current treatment approaches.
