    AbstractRetinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited cause of blindness in the developed world, characterized by night blindness, reduced central vision and constricted visual field; however, unilateral RP is extremely rare.

We describe a patient with unilateral RP presenting with CME, a rare occurrence.
