AI Article Synopsis
- A atypical case of dome-shaped choroidal osteoma was reported in a 35-year-old woman who experienced visual field issues in her left eye but had good visual acuity.
- Funduscopic examination revealed a yellowish tumor with retinal detachment, leading to surgery for extraction and diagnosis.
- The histopathology confirmed choroidal osteoma, and ten months after surgery, her vision had improved, with no signs of tumor recurrence; this case highlights the importance of considering choroidal osteoma in similar tumor diagnoses.
Article Abstract
. To report a case of atypical dome-shaped choroidal osteoma, which was diagnosed by histopathological finding of surgically extracted tumor. . A 35-year-old woman presented with visual field abnormality in the left eye (OS). Her best-corrected visual acuity with Landolt ring chart was 1.0 OS. The funduscopic examination revealed a yellowish dome-shaped choroidal tumor located in the temporal side of the macula with exudative retinal detachment. 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and the extraction of the tumor were performed for the definitive diagnosis. . As a result of histopathological finding from the extracted tumor, she was diagnosed with choroidal osteoma. 10 months after the last surgery, the BCVA is 0.7 OS. The tumor is not relapsed. . We must keep in mind that choroidal osteoma can be one of the differential diagnoses for the dome-shaped choroidal tumor.

In-Office Suprachoroidal Viscopexy for Acute Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
JAMA Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: In-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a relatively new procedure for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), but minimal information is available regarding outcomes and safety.
Objective: To report outcomes with in-office SCVEXY for primary acute RRD.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective case series was conducted at St Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from June 2023 to February 2024 among consecutive patients with primary acute RRDs who presented with retinal tears that were reachable with the current in-office SCVEXY technique in the temporal or nasal retina.

Article Synopsis
- The review summarizes the clinical and anatomical aspects of myopia, highlighting the different stages of myopic maculopathy (MMP) and their association with retinal changes.
- Recent findings show that MMP stage-4 is linked to defects in Bruch's membrane and previous macular neovascularization, while stage-3 demonstrates differences based on the presence of these defects.
- Additionally, higher axial lengths in myopic eyes correlate with increased risks for vision loss and certain eye conditions, including open-angle glaucoma, emphasizing the complexity and implications of myopia in aging populations.
