Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2018;12(1):21-23. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000381.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral choroidal excavation in a patient with juvenile localized scleroderma.

Methods: Case report.

Results: An asymptomatic 12-year-old boy with localized scleroderma presented for examination and was found to have bilateral areas of choroidal excavation temporal to the fovea.

Conclusion: Previous reports of ocular complications of localized scleroderma have primarily described adnexal and anterior segment changes. This is the second report of choroidal changes in a patient with localized scleroderma, and the first in a pediatric patient.
