BACKGROUND: To describe the clinical course of an active solitary idiopathic choroiditis (focal scleral nodule) that nearly resolved over six weeks without intervention.
CASE PRESENTATION: An 18-year-old man presented to the emergency department with headaches and new onset central scotoma in the right eye. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed an amelanotic choroidal lesion with associated shallow subretinal fluid. It measured 6.1 × 6.3 × 1.4mm on A- and B-scan. Evaluation for systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases was negative. A week later, the lesion remained stable, and a month later, there was improvement of the lesion with a decrease in size on OCT and exam and resolution of the subretinal fluid suggesting that the lesion had become inactive.
CONCLUSIONS: Solitary idiopathic choroiditis (Focal scleral nodule) is a rare condition characterized by inflammatory granulomatous reaction. This case report sheds light on the unknown natural course of a solitary idiopathic choroiditis (focal scleral nodule).
