Abstract
To determine the optical coherence tomographic images that are commonly observed in eyes with choroidal osteoma (choroidal ossification). Three patients with choroidal osteoma were examined by optical coherence tomography. We found two optical coherence tomographic patterns in the eyes with choroidal osteoma. First, multiple tracks of high refractivity were present posterior to the tumor lesion. Second, thick and irregular plate-like, high-signal intensity areas were present in the choroid in the region of the tumor. Optical coherence tomography can be useful in the diagnosis of choroidal osteoma.
