Özet
H erein cases of we focal report scleral multimodal nodule (FSN). imaging The findings term “unifocal in three helioid choroiditis” was initially proposed by Hong[1] in 1997 to describe idiopathic solitary choroidal lesions in 6 cases. In 2002, Shields et al[2] reported 60 similar cases, coining the term “solitary idiopathic choroiditis”. With the advent of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), these lesions were shown to arise in the sclera rather than the choroid. A 2020 multicenter study proposed renaming solitary idiopathic choroiditis as FSN based on multimodal imaging observations including EDI-OCT in 63 cases[3]. Duignan et al[4] reported in their 2021 series encompassing 34 cases that all solitary idiopathic choroiditis lesions were intrascleral and recommended the nomenclature “idiopathic scleroma”.
