Methods: In this case series study, the medical records of the adult retinitis pigmentosa cases those are followed in a tertiary referral center in Ankara, were retrospectively investigated. Demographic data and clinical findings were obtained from the medical records. Macula optical coherence tomography images recorded in the system were examined in detail for vitreomacular interface diseases, intraretinal hyper-refl ective spots, foveal atrophy, and intraretinal cyst findings.

Results: The study included 145 eyes of 77 retinitis pigmentosa cases. The mean age of the subjects was 37.42 ± 15.3 years (18 ? 65). 44 (57%) of the cases were male and 33 (43%) of the cases were female. The mean best corrected visual acuity was 0.51 ± 0.27 logMAR (0.00 ? 1.50). The most common macula optical coherence tomography finding was vitreomacular interface disorders in 72 eyes (49.7%) (bilaterality rate 35.8%). Other common macula optical coherence tomography findings were intraretinal hyper-refl ective spots in 69 eyes (47.6%) (bilaterality rate 85.9%), foveal atrophy in 66 eyes (45.5%) (bilaterality rate 65.6%), and intraretinal cyst in 45 eyes (31.0%) (bilaterality rate 27.5%), respectively.

Conclusion: A wide range of macular optical coherence tomography findings can be occurred in patients with retinitis pigmentosa that is a progressive degenerative disease. While the most common finding in retinitis pigmentosa cases in Turkish community is vitreoretinal interface diseases, the finding has the highest bilaterality rate is intraretinal hyper-refl ective spots.
