Abstrakt: Clinical Case: A 27-year-old woman with metamorphopsia was diagnosed with choroidal osteoma (CO); concurrently choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was also suspected. Neither fluorescein angiography (FA) nor indocyanine green angiography showed signs of CNV. A course of oral corticosteroids improved the symptoms, but when it was interrupted, both, the ophthalmoscopic and the FA findings showed a well defined CNV. Two years following green argon laser photocoagulation the CNV is still inactive.
Discussion: The clinical and angiographic heterogeneity of the CO can delay the diagnosis and treatment of an associated CNV.
