Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case with retinitis pigmentosa associated with sea fan type retinal neovascularization. Methods: Complete ocular examination including fluorescein angiography was performed in a 9-year-old girl. Results: Ophthalmoscopically, in addition to arteriolar narrowing and bone corpuscular pigmentation of both retinae, a vascular lesion with surrounding intraretinal exudation was noted in the upper equatorial region of the right eye. On fluorescein angiography, the lesion stained in the form of a sea fan neovascularization. Conclusion: Sea fan type of neovascularization can be seen in association with retinitis pigmentosa. Fluorescein angiography is important in identifying the exact nature of such a lesion.
