Autofluorescence and Visual Field Loss in Sector Retinitis Pigmentosa

摘要

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited degenerative disease involving photoreceptors and eventually inner retinal cells. Sector RP, first described by Bietti in 1937, is a variant with pigmentary changes localized to one or two quadrants. We illustrate the correlation between retinal pigment epithelial loss and visual field deficits in sector RP through autofluorescence imaging and automated perimetry.
