Visual field abnormalities are variable and include generalized depression of visual field, paracentral or peripheral scotoma and enlargement of the blind spot. Fluorescein angiography of the eye reveals characteristic punctate hyperfluorescent lesions in a wreath-like configuration surrounding the fovea.
Other names: Inherited retinal dystrophy/diseases: Back of the eye of a person with mid-stage retinitis pigmentosa. Note pigment deposits in the mid periphery along with retinal atrophy. While the macula is preserved there is some loss of pigmentation around it. Specialty: Ophthalmology, Optometry: Symptoms
Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy primarily occurs in adults (with a mean age of 27). [1] Symptoms include blurred vision in both eyes, but the onset may occur at a different time in each eye. There are yellow-white placoid lesions in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Some suggest a ...
This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.

CHRPE is a lesion with the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE)— densely packed cells in a single layer forming a blockage between the retina and the choroid— [6] that is generally cordial. There are three variations of CHRPE: solitary, grouped, and atypical, with these being found in ophthalmoscopes. [ 5 ]
Some patients have retinal vascular abnormalities predisposing to retinal detachment in early childhood. Cognitive delays or intellectual disability are occasionally seen. [citation needed] The discolored skin is caused by excessive deposits of melanin (normal skin pigment). Most newborns with IP will develop discolored skin within the first ...
Retinitis pigmentosa, mid stage. Kearns and Sayre described patients with "pigmentary degeneration" on funduscopy, night vision abnormalities, and some histologic similarities, but also clinical differences, to retinitis pigmentosa [2] Subsequently, the retinal phenotype of KSS was described as retinitis pigmentosa, atypical retinitis pigmentosa, tapetoretinal degeneration, salt-and-pepper ...
