Retinitis pigmentosa and Aortic Regurgitation in a Patient with Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease

“…Retinitis pigmentosa, the ocular compo nent of the hereditary renal retinal syndrome, has been described occasionally in patients with isolated renal abnormalities such as cystinuria, Fanconi syndrome, etc., but never in association with classical adult polycystic kidney disease [3]. Visual defects in patients with polycystic kidney disease include only myopia, central cataract, cataract with retinal dystrophy, blindness or reticular corneal dys trophy [4], Although adult polycystic kidney disease has been well described as to its autosomal dominant mode of transmission, we cannot draw conclusions concerning the mode of transmission of retinitis pigmentosa in our patient.…”
