Retinitis Pigmentosa Associated with Vasoproliferative Tumors and Coats-like Fundus

Purpose: to report two cases of retinitis pigmentosa (rp) associated with vasoproliferative tumors (vpts) and coats-like fundus. case reports: two patients with rp presented with recent loss of vision due to combined vpts and coats-like retinal vascular alterations. one patient had two vpts with adjacent capillary nonperfusion, telangiectasia and aneurysmal vascular changes in one eye. the other patient had prominent vpt with coats-like retinal vascular alterations in both eyes. these lesions received treatment resulting in improved vision in both patients. conclusion: although rare, vpts and coats-like retinal vascular alterations including retinal exudation associated with telangiectatic vessels, aneurysmal changes and capillary nonperfusion may occur in patients with rp.
