Abstract

A 19 year old male presented with low vision in right eye since 3 years. Clinical examination and investigations revealed a peripapillary, depigmented choroidal osteoma. The presence of pseudo-disc edema and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) edema, and male sex were unusual for choroidal osteoma. However, multimodal imaging in this case helped to arrive at a diagnosis.
