Atypical retinitis pigmentosa: a report of three cases.
We report three cases of patients with atypical retinitis pigmentosa (RP): sector bilateral, sector unilateral, and inverse. Clinical and functional features of perimetry, color vision testing, adaptometry, electroretinography, fluorangiography, and audiometry are described. One patient had isolated RP; the others had syndromic RP, combined with defective hearing and celiac disease. Two of these patients were followed for three years and one for 13 years. Their disease courses during the period of observation are discussed.
