| Popis: |
A 41-year-old, New Zealand European male, was seen in the acute eye clinic as an in-patient from the trauma ward with multiple comorbidities including an orbital fracture from injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. It is not uncommon in emergency settings for emergency physicians to review polytrauma patients prior to Ophthalmologists, with Computerized Tomography being the imaging modality of choice. A hyper-dense lesion within the right globe was noted by radiology at the time and concerns were raised about the possibility of a retained intraocular foreign body. Upon Ophthalmic examination, a clinical diagnosis of sclerochoroidal calcification was made. This case highlights a rare case of sclerochoroidal calcification manifesting as a hyperdense lesion on computerized tomography masquerading as an intraocular foreign body. |
