title: BILATERAL CHOROIDAL EXCAVATION IN JUVENILE LOCALIZED SCLERODERMA.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of bilateral choroidal excavation in a patient with juvenile localized scleroderma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An asymptomatic 12-year-old boy with localized scleroderma presented for examination and was found to have bilateral areas of choroidal excavation temporal to the fovea.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Previous reports of ocular complications of localized scleroderma have primarily described adnexal and anterior segment changes. This is the second report of choroidal changes in a patient with localized scleroderma, and the first in a pediatric patient.
