ABSTRACT
A case of a 32-year-old woman showing pigmentary degeneration of the retina in one eye associated with a hypoplastic tilted disc in fellow eye is presented. Clinical examinations of the patient were performed in order to rule out the various causes which are known to produce fundoscopic features that mimic retinitis pigmentosa. Since these investigations were all negative, the fundus changes were interpreted as a unilateral retinitis pigmentosa. Four years later, the patient was re-examined and the findings were reconfirmed. An association of unilateral retinitis pigmentosa and hypoplastic tilted disc in the other eye can be regarded as exceptional. The possibility of a correlation of the pathogenetic mechanism involved in the development of both conditions is discussed
