Metastatic calcification of the choroid in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism

B G Goldstein et al. Retina. 1982.

Abstract

This case report documents for the first time the funduscopic appearance and the fluorescein angiographic and ultrasonographic findings of what probably represents sclerouveal metastatic calcification in a patient with a past history of hyperparathyroidism. Fluorescein angiography revealed window defects centrally and mild staining of the more prominent periphery of the lesions. B-scan ultrasonography revealed marked sonoreflectivity characteristic of calcium.
