Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and glaucoma are frequent associations. Masking of the underlying retinal ischemia is known to be caused by RP that may cause a clinical dilemma and treatment. We present a middle-aged healthy male presenting with bilateral refractory neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and classical RP with no evidence of posterior segment ischemia. The case highlights important points and tailored investigations to arrive at the final diagnosis and treatment for such challenging cases.
视网膜色素变性(RP)与青光眼常同时出现。已知RP可掩盖潜在的视网膜缺血,这可能导致临床困境及治疗难题。我们报告一例中年健康男性,患有双侧难治性新生血管性青光眼(NVG)及典型的RP,无后段缺血证据。该病例突出了重要要点及针对性检查,以对这类具有挑战性的病例做出最终诊断及治疗。
