Abstract
A 39-year-old woman with typical retinitis pigmentosa (RP) for 9 years and a positive family history of night blindnesswas diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). She developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) during the courseof disease. She was promptly managed with pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP). PDR developing in a case of typicalRP is extremely rare and has not been reported in the literature to date. Recognition of this rare, vision threateningcomplication, points out a definite need to further look deep into the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.
