PURPOSE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of argon laser photocoagulation on choroidal osteoma. METHODS:Six cases (7 eyes)of choroidal osleoma were treated with argon laser photoeoagulation. The pre and postoperative visual aeuity,fundus appearance and fundus fluorescein anglography(FFA)were observed. The average period of follow up was 23 months. RESULT:The visual acuity of all patients was unchanged. Choroidal osteomas in 3 patlents ( 3 eyes)were flattened. The EFA showed that choroidal vaseulature disappeared in one eye. CONCLUSION :Multiple sessions of photocoagulation may cause decalcification of choroidal ostema and ]imitation of growth of the tumors awing to destroying the choroid blood vessel by pholoeoagulation in the area of tumor and around it. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 204-206）
