Clinical features and therapeutic management of choroidal osteoma: A Systematic Review

Choroidal osteoma (CO) is a benign ossifying tumor within the choroid. Complications associated with CO, including disruption of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), atrophy of photoreceptor, subretinal fluid (SRF), and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), present challenges for clinicians, and management remain controversial. We performed a comprehensive search in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid databases for published studies and case reports relating to the management of choroidal osteoma. Since it was first described in 1978, various case reports of ocular complications associated with CO have been documented, and various therapies have yielded different outcomes.
