What is retinitis pigmentosa (R pigmentosa)?

Retinitis pigmentosa is a rod-cone dystrophy that results in cell death, predominately in the rod photoreceptors. The genetic defects that cause retinitis pigmentosa can also affect the cone photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium. Fundus images are from a 47-yer-old Hispanic male with retinitis pigmentosa.

What are the different types of retinitis pigmentosa?

Researchers have identified several major types of nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa, which are usually distinguished by their pattern of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. Less commonly, retinitis pigmentosa occurs as part of syndromes that affect other organs and tissues in the body.

How do you diagnose retinitis pigmentosa?

DiagnosisEye examination: An ophthalmologist (eye doctor) can diagnose retinitis pigmentosa (RP). ... If RP is suspected, an ophthalmologist may confirm a diagnosis by performing an electroretinogram (ERG). ... Visual tests can also be performed to determine the severity of vision loss.More items...

Is retinitis pigmentosa an autoimmune disease?

We conclude that although retinitis pigmentosa is genetically determined, patients develop autoimmunity against retinal tissue due to suppression of cell-mediated immunity. Association of rheumatoid factor in 8% of the cases further confirms the loss of homeostatic control owing to suppressed cell-mediated immunity.
