Visual acuities were counting fingers OD and logMAR 0.1 OS. Fundus examinations revealed bilateral orange colored, relatively flat, plaque like lesions and a subretinal hemorrhage at parafoveal area, in the right eye. USG, CT, FFA, and OCT imaging conducted and a diagnosis of right choroidal neovascular membrane in bilateral choroidal osteoma background was made. The choroidal neovascular membrane was treated with 3 sequential monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections and visual acuity improved to logMAR 0.5.
