Abstract

Macular changes may appear in retinitis pigmentosa patients and include macular atrophy, cystoid macular edema, retinal cysts, and holes. However, other primary macular diseases have not been described in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, probably because of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the overlying retina. We present a 35-year-old patient whose first symptom was an acute decrease in visual acuity due to central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Retinitis pigmentosa was subsequently diagnosed. We assume that the macular RPE changes may be attributed to both cone and RPE atrophy or other macular pathophysiologic processes, one of which may be CSCR.
