Definition

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), also designated rod-cone dystrophy, is characterized by initial night blindness due to rod dysfunction, with subsequent progressive constriction of visual fields, abnormal color vision, and eventual loss of central vision due to cone photoreceptor involvement (summary by El Shamieh et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000. [from OMIM]

Constriction of peripheral visual field
MedGen UID:
68613
•Concept ID:
C0235095
•
Finding
An absolute or relative decrease in retinal sensitivity extending from edge (periphery) of the visual field in a concentric pattern. The visual field is the area that is perceived simultaneously by a fixating eye.

Undetectable electroretinogram
MedGen UID:
383742
•Concept ID:
C1855685
•
Finding
Lack of any response to stimulation upon electroretinography.

Rod-cone dystrophy
MedGen UID:
1632921
•Concept ID:
C4551714
•
Disease or Syndrome
An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.

Pigmentary retinopathy
MedGen UID:
1643295
•Concept ID:
C4551715
•
Disease or Syndrome
An abnormality of the retina characterized by pigment deposition. It is typically associated with migration and proliferation of macrophages or retinal pigment epithelial cells into the retina; melanin from these cells causes the pigmentary changes. Pigmentary retinopathy is a common final pathway of many retinal conditions and is often associated with visual loss.

Perifoveal hypoautofluorescence
MedGen UID:
1814406
•Concept ID:
C5676842
•
Finding
Decreased amount of autofluorescence (emission of fluorescent light from ocular structures in the absence of sodium fluorescein) in the retina in the region surrounding the fovea.
