Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetically determined degenerative retinal disease characterized by primary progressive degeneration of rod and secondary degeneration of cone photoreceptors. Despite the fact that the central retinal zone remains relatively intact for a long time, the most common complication of RP is macular edema (ME). The causes of ME in patients with RP have not been finally established, and treatment approaches are controversial. This article presents the modern data on the pathogenesis, clinical aspects, diagnostic, and treatment methods of ME associated with RP.
