Abstract :

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited retinal disorder can present with typical features of retinal pigment atrophy, bony spicules and arteriolar attenuation. It can also present in the less commonly observed atypical form whose features depend on the type of systemic association. Although it is associated with many posterior segment complications, macular holes can rarely be associated with this condition. A full thickness macular hole affecting both eyes is commonly seen in a typical case. Our patient with features of atypical RP presented with bilateral full thickness macular holes suggesting the rarity of this case.
