1. Preserved para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelium retinitis pigmentosa

Author

Porta, Alessandro, Pierrottet, Chiara, Aschero, Monica, and Orzalesi, Nicola

Subjects
Retinitis pigmentosa -- Physiological aspects, Rhodopsin -- Physiological aspects, Health
Abstract

In two patients, we studied retinitis pigmentosa with preservation of the retinal pigment epithelium adjacent to and under the retinal arterioles (despite panretinal degeneration). Both patients with preserved para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelium also exhibited a peculiarly strong hyperopia. In addition to previously reported features, these patients also had sheathing of the major vascular arcades, which suggested a vascular involvement in this uncommon form of retinitis pigmentosa.
