Retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmenti. Debut with macular oedema

Abstract Case report A 25-year-old woman, with metamorphopsia in her left eye of one year onset. The examination revealed a bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) and vascular attenuation. We describe the diagnostic tests as well as differential diagnosis and treatment response with carbonic anhydras...

Summary:Abstract Case report A 25-year-old woman, with metamorphopsia in her left eye of one year onset. The examination revealed a bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) and vascular attenuation. We describe the diagnostic tests as well as differential diagnosis and treatment response with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Discussion The retinitis pigmentosa sine pigment is a subtype of atypical retinitis pigmentosa characterized by the absence of pigment deposits. The night blindness is milder, and perimetric and electroretinographic impairment is lower. CME is an important cause of central vision loss, and responds to anhydrase carbonic inhibitors.
