A Case of Extensive Bilateral Idiopathic Sclerochoroidal Calcification and Review of Literature
A 62-year-old Caucasian male was referred to retina for choroiditis and uveitis. Multiple areas of yellow irregularities were noted on fundus exam throughout the periphery of both eyes, corresponding to lesions at the sclerochoroidal junction on OCT. A diagnosis of sclerochoroidal calcifications (SC...

description | A 62-year-old Caucasian male was referred to retina for choroiditis and uveitis. Multiple areas of yellow irregularities were noted on fundus exam throughout the periphery of both eyes, corresponding to lesions at the sclerochoroidal junction on OCT. A diagnosis of sclerochoroidal calcifications (SCC) was confirmed by B-ultrasonography, fundus photography, OCT imaging, and fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. Systemic metabolic studies were performed, which showed reduced renal function with increased serum calcium; however, SCC lesions in this case were most likely idiopathic. In this work, we report the clinical findings, appearance on multimodal imaging, and systemic associations of sclerochoroidal calcification. Sclerochoroidal calcifications are an unusual clinical finding that tends to be idiopathic, but a focused workup and specialist referral may be warranted to exclude systemic conditions associated with abnormal calcium-phosphate metabolism or hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis syndromes. |
