Giant retinal tears, retinal detachment and retinitis pigmentosa

Abstract:
A patient with retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural deafness presented with bilateral giant retinal tears and a unilateral retinal detachment. The peripheral visual field loss could have been erroneously ascribed to the primary retinal dystrophy. A retinal detachment must be considered in patients with a sudden loss of visual acuity or field even if they have a primary retinal dystrophy.
