Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa or pseudoretinitis pigmentosa?: case report

Although described more than one hundred years its existence is still questioned. This article reports a case of a patient with abnormalities suggestive of unilateral retinitis pigmentosa. The clinical and complementary examinations are discussed.
