Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this work was to describe retinitispigmentosa involving themaculain a child with a follow-upof6years.Methods: Casereport.Results: Over 6 years, the child exhibited an expansion of thelesionareaofthecentralretina.Onopticalcoherencetomography (OCT), there is a sharp thinning of the centralregion of the retina with pathology of the photoreceptorandpigmentlayers.Conclusion: In some cases of retinitis pigmentosa, there arechangesinthemacula,characteristicofthedryformofmaculardegeneration; in other cases, there are cysts associatedwith cystoid macular oedema; and in other cases, there is amacularhole.Inourcase,therewasanatrophiclesionofthemacula,characteristicofthedryformofage-relatedmaculardegeneration. Apparently, such involvement of the macula inthe process is typical for children with early progression of thedisease.
