Survey of Ophthalmology, 1988
Retinitis pigmentosa is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders in which there is progressive loss of photoreceptor and pigment epithelial function. The prevalence of retinitis pigmentosa is between 1/3000 and 1/5000 making it one of the most common causes of visual impairment in all age groups.

SYMPATHECTOMY FOR RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1935In September 1930, Royle1stimulated interest in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa by stating that the vision of patients with this disease could be improved by the surgical interruption of the sympathetic nerves to the eye. Our experience with this form of treatment has been limited to four cases.

Trends in Genetics, 2005
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of the most genetically heterogeneous inherited disorders. Twelve genes have now been identified in the autosomal dominant form of the disease, including some recently characterized genes that show unprecedented and fascinating traits in both their function and in their expression profiles.

Unilateral Retinitis Pigmentosa
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1973Seven cases of unilateral retinal pigmentary degeneration are presented including five of unknown cause and two which developed following ophthalmic artery occlusion. Ophthalmoscopic and functional findings were similar in all of these patients, strongly suggesting a vascular cause for this disease.

Optometry and Vision Science, 1998
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of the most common inherited retinal diseases, with a prevalence of about 1 in 3500 to 4500. Retinitis pigmentosa inversa is a rare variant of this disorder characterized by areas of choroidal degeneration with pigment migration and bony spicule formation in the macular area.

Optometry - Journal of the American Optometric Association, 2005
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of the most common hereditary retinal dystrophies and causes of visual impairment affecting all age groups. The reported incidence varies, but is considered to be between 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 7,000. Sector retinitis pigmentosa is an atypical form of RP that is characterized by regionalized areas of bone spicule ...

Retinitis pigmentosa: recent advances and future directions in diagnosis and management
Current opinion in pediatrics, 2018Purpose of review Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of genetically diverse inherited blinding disorders for which there are no treatments. Owing to recent advances in imaging technology, DNA sequencing, gene therapy, and stem cell biology, clinical trials ...

Retinitis Pigmentosa and Hypogammaglobulinemia
Southern Medical Journal, 2006This report describes a family demonstrating an unusual association of retinitis pigmentosa and hypogammaglobulinemia. The proband in this family suffered from another rare illness, ie, Sertoli cell only syndrome. The incidence of retinitis pigmentosa is 1 in 5,000 and that of common variable immunodeficiency state is 1 in 100,000, making a chance ...

Pathology of Retinitis Pigmentosa
Ophthalmology, 1982Eyes from patients with retinitis pigmentosa were obtained at autopsy. They were processed in celloidin and examined by light microscopy. The earliest evidence of retinal degeneration occurred in the equatorial zone and then extended peripherally and centrally.
