  • Title: A Nine-Year Follow-Up of Macular Complications in Retinitis Pigmentosa and Diabetes Mellitus.
    Author: Mucciolo DP, Sodi A, Murro V, Virgili G, Rizzo S.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina; 2017 Apr 01; 48(4):340-344. PubMed ID: 28419400.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a 9-year follow-up of macular complications in a 66-year-old woman affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Rarely, clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy are presented in a patient with retinal dystrophy. This patient developed a bilateral diabetic macular edema (DME), which made its management complex due to the multiple pathogenic processes involved. Despite the chronicity of the DME, visual acuity remained stable without therapy. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of DME in RP with such a long follow-up.
