We describe a case of choroidal folds coexisting with ethmoidal myxoma and the evolution of folds after tumor excision. Choroidal folds can occure in the case of intraorbital pathology. Optical coherence tomography is usefull in diagnosis and monitoring of these folds.
Material and methods: 45 years old woman was reffered to our clinic because of visal disturbances in her right eye. Visual acuity of right eye was 0.5, of the left eye 1.0. Intraocular pressure of both eyes was within normal limits. Biomicroscopic evaluation of the right eye revealed no changes in anterior segment but choroidal folds in posterior segment were evident. The left eye was normal. Computer tomography of the orbit documented the presence of tumor within the right ethmoid. The tumor was excised surgically and its myxoidal nature was confirmed. Results: 3 months after that intervention retinal profile in posterior pole in optical coherence tomography was normal and visual acuity of right eye improved by 1 line in Snellen chart. Conclusions: Choroidal folds caused by ethmoidal myxoma can disapper after surgical excison of tumor. Optical coherence tomography is very useful in documentation of these changes. keywords:
