Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa: clinical and electrophysiological diagnosis
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary disorders characterized by gradual atrophy and cell death of the photoreceptors and adjacent cell layers of the retina, the common feature of which is progressive deterioration in vision. Initial presenting symptoms of the disease include night blindness, with gradual deterioration of the light-sensitive cells of the retina, causing diminution of vision in daylight in the later stages. Presentation is bilateral and symmetrical.
