Abstract

We describe a patient with concurrent retinitis pigmentosa and central serous chorioretinopathy. Both conditions involve dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium and evince distinct clinical, angiographic, and electrophysiologic features. Potential pathophysiologic connections are explored.
