  • Title: Optical coherence tomography images of retinitis pigmentosa.
    Author: Hamada S, Yoshida K, Chihara E.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 2000; 31(3):253-6. PubMed ID: 10847508.
    Abstract:
    The retinas of 3 patients with typical retinitis pigmentosa (RP) were evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and fundus photography (FP). OCT showed that retinal thickness was decreased in the areas of the retina affected by RP, and nearly normal in the unaffected macular area. Reflectivity was partially decreased in the affected retinal areas and pigment masses were hyper-reflective. Reflectivity of the macular area was nearly normal except in the fovea, where it was decreased because of edema. Cystic spaces of the fovea were evident in Patient 1.
