⁴Doç. Dr., Ulucanlar Göz Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları, Ankara, Türkiye We aimed to report a case series of coexistence of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and posterior staphyloma (PS) and to describe their clinical outcomes. This case series include three patients? complete ophthalmological examinations including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofl orescence, fundus fluorescein angiography and enhanced depth OCT. All patients had myopic refraction and decreased visual acuity. Dilated fundus examination revealed waxy pallor optic atrophy, arterial attenuation, mid-peripheral bone spicule pigmentations, and large posterior staphyloma. Additionally, macular pseudohole (MPH) and cystoid macular edema (CME) were also detected. Coexistence of RP and PS is a rare condition that may result in serious visual complications. RP can also be accompanied by MPH and CME. As the surgical outcomes are not always satisfactory, vitreous surgery should be undertaken after careful consideration of the potential risks and benefi ts for such macular abnormalities.
