Abstract:
:Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa is a rare disease characterized by loss of photoreceptors and retinal pigment deposition without affecting the contralateral eye. Although described more than one hundred years its existence is still questioned. This article reports a case of a patient with abnormalities suggestive of unilateral retinitis pigmentosa. The clinical and complementary examinations are discussed.
