Retinitis Pigmentosa, Staphyloma and Myopia Syndrome-A Rare Entity
Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a common retinal dystrophy which causes progressive vision loss. Waxy disc pallor, arteriolar attenuation with mid-peripheral bony spicules form characteristic triad of the disease. Beginning as nyctalopia, the disease progresses to cause significant vision loss and visual field defect. Pathological myopia, staphyloma and cataract may be associated with the disorder as spectrum of MRCS syndrome which has a varied phenotypic presentation. We would like to report one such case.
