- Abstract
Choroidal osteoma is a rare condition, and its treatment is not well established, especially in the pediatric population, where use of antiangiogenics for choroidal neovascularization is poorly studied. Few studies have reported the long-term follow-up of pediatric patients with bilateral choroidal osteomas. We report the case of a girl who was diagnosed at the age of 3, with the appearance of bilateral secondary choroidal neovascularization, and has been under strict observation for 12 years. The effectiveness of antiangiogenic agents as a long-term therapeutic option for secondary choroidal neovascularization in pediatric patients with symptomatic choroidal osteomas is discussed., (Copyright © 2024 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
