Popis: This is a rare case of a patient with atypical retinitis pigmentosa, basic exotropia and hearing impairment in a 16-year-old child. She has been diagnosed as hearing impaired since birth. Her aided vision in both eyes was 6/9; the fundus showed hypopigmented lesions with a waxy pale disc, and she was found to have basic exotropia. All of these features suggest Usher’s syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of basic exotropia with Usher’s syndrome.
