³M.D. Professor, Inonu Uinversity Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Malatya/TURKEY Retinitis pigmentosa (RP); is the most common worldwide heterogeneous group of inherited retinal disorders characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors and retinal pigment deposits. RP can be seen isolated or can be found along with many syndromes as well. The typical form of RP known as rod-cone dystrophies and also atypical forms of RP are can be seen. Coats- like retinitis pigmentosa that includes retinal disorders such as exudative retinal detachment and cystoid macula edema is a type of atypical retinitis pigmentosa. In this article we presented a 31 years old man diagnosed as Coats-like retinitis pigmentosa. He admitted to our clinic with low vision in dark which is ongoing for nearly a year and a progressive vision loss in right eye in daylight since three months. We aimed to make a minor review about Coats-like RP that is uncommon type of RP in view of current articles.
