³İstanbul Bilim Üniversitesi, Göz Hastalıkları A.D., İstanbul, Prof. Dr. We described a case of Bietti's Crystalline Fundus Dystrophy (BCFD) who was also diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). A full ophtalmologic examination was performed to a 29 years old female whose night vision has been worsening over the past few years. She was positive for RP65 mutation and yellow sparkling crystals and peripheric bony specules have been detected in her retina. According to her fundus fluorescein angiography, electroretinogram and visual field results, the patient was diagnosed with both BCFD and RP. We recommend to keep in mind that although RP may be seen associated with BCFD, BCFD may also present with RP signs and symptoms. Keywords : Bietti’s crystalline dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa
