We present a case report on sclerochoroidal calcification (SCC), a rare condition involving calcium pyrophosphate deposits in the posterior pole of the eye in a 70-year-old patient. We provide an account of the clinical presentation and its appearance in multimodal images, using color fundus photography, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), ocular ultrasound, and the novel retro-mode imaging (RMI) technique. Visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye (OD) and 20/20 in the left eye (OS).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to analyze the imaging and clinical aspects of rare calcified lesions in the eyes of patients with mosaic RASopathy, involving 10 eyes across 7 patients.
  • - Various imaging techniques, including fundus photography and B-scan ultrasonography, revealed calcified lesions near the optic nerve, with most affecting both the choroid and sclera.
  • - Results showed that these lesions were associated with different RASopathy syndromes, and complications such as the development of a choroidal neovascular membrane were noted, requiring treatment.
