Retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy leading to progressive loss of the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium and resulting in blindness usually after several decades.

Telangiectasia

Telangiectasias refer to small dilated blood vessels located near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes, measuring between 0.5 and 1 millimeter in diameter. Telangiectasia are located especially on the tongue, lips, palate, fingers, face, conjunctiva, trunk, nail beds, and fingertips.

Coats-like retinitis pigmentosa: Reports of three cases.
Kan E, Yilmaz T, Aydemir O, Guler M, Kurt J.
Clin Ophthalmol. 2007;1(2):193-8.
We have identified 3 patients who have some typical clinical features of Coats-like retinitis pigmentosa; peripheral serous retinal detachment, telangiectasia, prominent lipid deposition, pigmentary changes in peripheral retina, and loss of vision.

They differ from the calcified retinal hamartomas that have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa because they do not show the extensive telangiectasia and exudation seen with the exudative retinopathy that has been described with retinitis pigmentosa.
