title: Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification: new observations.
abstract: Two cases of idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification are reported with follow-up of two and ten years. In addition we have reviewed 102 cases of choroidal osteoma, including six misleading case reports which actually described idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification and not choroidal osteoma. Clinical manifestation and the angiographic features of idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification are outlined. The differential diagnosis of intraocular deposition of calcium salts is discussed in detail.
