There has been shift in the etiological profile of optic atrophy. Whilst tumours are still an important cause of paediatric optic atrophy for an Australian population, perinatal events and neurodegenerative disease are becoming more significant.
To present a case of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy secondary to sclerochoroidal calcification. Method: A single patient case report with multimodal imaging including color fundus, red free and autofluorescence photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Results: Sclerochoroidal calcification was diagnosed clinically from bilateral retinal elevations and underlying subretinal yellow deposits. The presence of retinal hemorrhages was confirmed to be secondary to underlying polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy by optical coherence tomography and fundus angiography. Conclusion: Sclerochoroidal calcification may be complicated by polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
