Pigmentary retinal dystrophy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1142103178
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy caused by the loss of photoreceptors and characterised by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination. The most common form of RP is a rod-cone dystrophy, in which the first symptom is night blindness, followed by the progressive loss in the peripheral visual field in daylight, and eventually leading to blindness after several decades.
