Purpose: To report, in vivo, on the quasi-histologic characteristics of a sarcoid choroidal granuloma as visualized by Enhanced Depth Imaging Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI SD-OCT). Methods: A 49 year-old woman showing a choroidal granuloma secondary to sarcoidosis was imaged by EDI OCT. Result: On EDI SD-OCT examination, sarcoid choroidal granuloma appears as a localized hyporeflectivechoroidalthickening. Two weeks after systemic corticosteroids, the thickness of the granuloma decreased from 568 mu m to 356 mu m. Five months later, it reached 274 mu m, and after eleven months, it decreased to 150 mu m. Conclusion: EDI SD-OCT allows direct visualization of choroidal granuloma secondary to sarcoidosis and evaluation of lesion regression after treatment.
