title: Retinitis Pigmentosa Associated with Vasoproliferative Tumors and Coats-like Fundus.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report two cases of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) associated with vasoproliferative tumors (VPTs) and Coats-like fundus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two patients with RP presented with recent loss of vision due to combined VPTs and Coats-like retinal vascular alterations. One patient had two VPTs with adjacent capillary nonperfusion, telangiectasia and aneurysmal vascular changes in one eye. The other patient had prominent VPT with Coats-like retinal vascular alterations in both eyes. These lesions received treatment resulting in improved vision in both patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although rare, VPTs and Coats-like retinal vascular alterations including retinal exudation associated with telangiectatic vessels, aneurysmal changes and capillary nonperfusion may occur in patients with RP.
