Abstract
• A total of 110 patients with retinitis pigmentosa were prospectively and consecutively evaluated for the presence of foveal lesions. Of these 69 (63%) patients showed one of two types of separate and distinct bilateral foveal lesions. Forty-seven (43%) patients had atrophicappearing lesions of the retinal pigment epithelium within the fovea of both eyes, and an additional 22 (20%) patients showed bilateral foveal cysts or partial-thickness holes. Of the 22 patients in this last group, 16 showed cystoid macular edema evident on fluorescein angiography. (Arch Ophthalmol 95:1993-1996, 1977)This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
