AB  - The authors report spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings 
      in a patient with decalcifying choroidal osteoma accompanied by a choroidal 
      neovascular membrane and serous retinal detachment. A 13-year-old girl was found 
      to have a choroidal osteoma in the left eye. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed 
      by B-scan ultrasonography, computed tomography, and fluorescein and indocyanine 
      green angiography. The SD-OCT findings over the decalcified portion included 
      serous retinal detachment, photoreceptor outer segment disorganization, retinal 
      pigment epithelial atrophy, deformed Bruch's membrane, and choroidal neovascular 
      membrane. In contrast, the retinal structures over the calcified portion appeared 
      to be preserved. SD-OCT showed loss of a vascular appearance and increased 
      thickness in the affected choroid, especially in the decalcified portion. 
      Choroidal thickening may be associated not only with choroidal osteomas, but also 
      with tumor decalcification. These unique features on SD-OCT may be important in 
      understanding poor visual prognosis when decalcification involves the fovea.
