A Case of Coats’-Like Retinitis Pigmentosa
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of Coats’-like retinitis pigmentosa in a 22-year-old female patient. Both eyes showed the typical funduscopic features of retinitis pigmentosa, and the right eye showed scar formation due to exudative retinal detachment in the temporal peripheral retina with dilatation of the retinal vessels. Fluorescein angiography did not show dye leakage at the scar lesion or the dilated retinal vessels. The patient was generally unaware of the visual deterioration and night blindness. On the basis of this case report, we emphasize the importance of considering the development of Coats’-like exudative change in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. In most cases, various mutations in carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 (CHST6) gene are the main cause of MCD. These mutations lead to a defect in keratan sulfate synthesis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is another eye disorder with nyctalopia as its common symptom. It has been shown that more than 65 genes have been implica...
