Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis associated with retinitis pigmentosa

Abstract

We report a case of bilateral retinitis pigmentosa simplex (RP) with a combination of unilateral Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis (FHU). Both of these entities are quite rare syndromes and coexistence of these entities in one patient is rarer than can be expected. Even though this rare coexistence came together in one patient, we found no hereditary factors to presume that both traits segregate independently.
