Abstract
DEPOSITION of calcium or true ossification in the eyeball has been known to the ophthalmologist and pathologist. These conditions occur most commonly in the choroid and are believed to be often caused by injury. Twining and Shanks1 distinguished four groups of intraocular calcifications as seen roentgenologically: calcification of the lens, ossification of the vitreous, calcified atheroma of the ophthalmic artery and a shrunken calcified globe. Kautz and Schwartz2 described, in detail, the x-ray appearance of the ring-shaped calcific deposits in the choroid and also listed and discussed the differential diagnosis of other opacities in the orbit and globe, such as . . .Keywords
