Purpose: To describe a case of choroidal osteoma with macular involvement in an infant that was treated with transpupillary thermotherapy.
Methods: A case report.
Results: An 11-month-old infant presented for retinopathy of prematurity follow up examination and was found to have a three disc-diameter round, orange, subretinal, slightly elevated lesion with well-defined margins in the superior macula of the left eye. B-scan ultrasonography showed a slightly elevated, highly reflective choroidal mass with acoustic shadowing. A diagnosis of choroidal osteoma was made. Six months later, repeat examination under anesthesia (EUA) showed the lesion to be increasing in size and encroaching on the fovea. Given demonstrated growth and the risk of central vision loss, the patient was treated with transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT). Subsequent EUAs, over a period of four months, have shown complete decalcification with no subsequent growth.
Conclusion: Choroidal osteomas are benign lesions that can be sight threatening if located in the macula. TTT in this case resulted in complete regression of a sight threatening extrafoveal choroidal osteoma at four month follow up.

The aim of the study was todescribe the clinical features, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in patients with choroidal and retinal tumors. Ninety eyes of 89 patients with treatment-naive macular, midperipheral, and juxtapapillary choroidal and retinal tumors were retrospectively included in the study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, B-mode ultrasonography, OCT, and FAF imaging.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined 80 Indian patients with choroidal osteoma, focusing on demographic and clinical characteristics as well as treatment outcomes.
- Most patients were female (61%), with the majority in their second decade of life; various associated complications like choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were noted in 40% of eyes.
- Treatment methods included anti-VEGF therapy for CNV and other procedures, with mean best corrected visual acuity improving slightly over a follow-up period, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring despite the generally benign nature of the condition.

Choroidal osteoma is a rare, benign, osseous choristoma presenting as an orange-yellow, well-defined fundus mass. It presents unilaterally in most cases, has a predilection for the female sex, and favor a juxtapapillary location, becoming clinically manifest when it involves the macula. Almost 60% of eyes with osteoma may suffer significant visual loss.
