Diagnostic imaging in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive inherited retinal disease, and patients with RP have reduced visual function caused by a degeneration of the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). At the end stage of RP, the degeneration of the photoreceptors in the fovea reduces central vision, and RP is one of the main causes of acquired blindness in developed countries. Therefore, mo...

متن کاملRetinitis pigmentosa and Coats's disease.
The association of two rare ocular conditions of unknown aetiology presents the clinician with an opportunity to study interrelating factors. The association of retinitis pigmentosa with Coats's disease has been previously reported in three patients (Zamorani, I956; Morgan and Crawford, I968), in all of whom bilateral involvement occurred with severe visual loss. The present case which has been...

متن کاملTracing the progression of retinitis pigmentosa via photoreceptor interactions.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited degenerative eye diseases characterized by mutations in the genetic structure of the photoreceptors that leads to the premature death of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Defects in particular genes encoding proteins that are involved in either the photoreceptor structure, phototransduction cascades, or visual cycle are expressed in the rods but...
