Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) consists of a large group of disorders resulting from a progressive loss of the rods and cones in the retina.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare hereditary disorders whose common feature is a gradual deterioration of the light sensitive cells of the retina. The name retinitis pigmentosa was applied by a doctor Donders in 1857.

Sometimes, as in the adult, the sight becomes affected from albuminous retinitis. Such cases, without a careful examination of the urine, may be mistaken for cerebral tumour.
Some ophthalmologists believe that a high dose of vitamin A palmitate may slow, but not halt, the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
In the eyes, it may cause retinitis. Some patients may not show any signs of infection other than a positive culture.
Diagnosis: Bodily fluids such as blood, urine and nasal secretions may be cultured for CMV.
It can affect the choroid, the head of the optic nerve, and the retina (or any combination of these structures). It includes chorioretinitis, retinitis and neuroretinitis.
Panuveitis is when the inflammation affects the whole of the uveal tract.
It may be difficult to differentiate Leber congenital amaurosis from early-onset retinitis pigmentosa or from syndromes that cause impaired vision. It is also hard to distinguish what is vision and what is behavior in an infant or very young child.
Retinitis pigmentosis, a hereditary and degenerative eye disease, affects 100,000 people in the United States. An early sign is night blindness which progresses to total blindness.
A condition called cytomegalovirus retinitis affects the eye and can cause blindness. Pneumonia caused by cytomegalovirus can be life threatening.
Some of the manifestations of this disorder are atypical retinitis pigmentosa, cerebellar ataxia, and increased cerebrospinal protein levels. Excessive phytanic acid storage has been found in most cases.
