Image legend:
Color fundus photograph of 39-year-old male showing optic disc pallor, attenuated arteries, and bone spicules in the right eye with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/600, N36(A). The left eye fundus is unremarkable with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20, N6(B). Full-field electroretinography (ERG) of the right eye showing extinguished scotopic as well as photopic responses(C), 24- 2 Humphrey visual field analysis showing peripheral visual loss(D). Full-field ERG(E) and HVF(F) analysis of the left eye are unremarkable.
Take home message: Image highlights the accurate diagnosis of unilateral retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
One eye having characteristic features of retinitis pigmentosa. Another eye having a normal fundus, HVF, and full-field ERG. A follow-up (>5years) is required to rule out the delayed onset of RP in the unaffected eye. Exclusion of infectious, inflammatory, and vascular causes for RP-like fundus is crucial.
