title: Choroidal osteoma masquerading as central serous chorioretinopathy.
abstract: We report a rare case of choroidal osteoma masquerading as central serous chorioretinopathy. A 39-year-old man complained of intermittent episodes of blurred vision in the left eye for 2 months. Fundus examination of the left eye showed a dome-shaped elevation at the macular center. Fluorescein angiography showed a patch of pinpoint leakage resulting in a well-defined pool of dye at the macular center. Initial diagnosis was recurrent central serous chorioretinopathy with sequelae in the left eye. Five months later, serous detachment recurred. Computerized tomography and ultrasonography showed a bony plaque at the choroid level, and choroidal osteoma was diagnosed.
