| Popis: | Purpose We describe a sporadic case of unilateral pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA) with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in the contralateral eye. Observations a 24-year-old female aware of the narrowing of visual field was examined at our hospital. Funduscopic examination revealed left eye showing retinochroidal atrophy along the retinal veins with pigment accumulation while right eye showing peripheral diffuse retinal pigmented epithelium atrophy with bone spicule pigmentation. Fundus autofluorescence, electroretinogram, visual field test and optic coherent tomography were also performed and obtained results were compatible with funduscopic observation. Conclusions and importance Simultaneous manifestation of PPRCA and RP observed in this case is rare and supports a shared genetic basis between the two diseases. Further genetic investigations are needed to elucidate the etiology and to properly manage PPRCA. |
