Dilated fundus examination demonstrated a discrete, yellow lesion in the superior mid periphery over the superior arcade. Fundus photo OD and OCT over the lesion are shown below:
Question: What is the main finding in the 5-line raster OCT of the lesion above?
Question: What is the most likely diagnosis based on the patient presentation and OCT imaging?
The patient is concerned about this diagnosis and inquires further about the prognosis of this disease.
Question: What do you inform the patient about the course of this disease?
Question: What systemic disease should be worked up for in patients with sclerochoroidal calcification?
Learning Objectives:
1. OCT findings of sclerochoroidal calcification.
2. Treatment and work-up of sclerochoroidal calcification.
