ABSTRACT
We report a case of retinitis pigmentosa in two siblings, with inverse retinitis pigmentosa in one and typical retinitis pigmentosa in another. This is a case report of a 10 year boy who presented with diminution of vision in both eyes. On examination he had inverse retinitis pigmentosa. similar complaints were found in his elder sister, 27 yrs of age, who had Advanced Typical Retinitis pigmentosa involving macula. Retinitis pigmentosa in 50–60% of cases has autosomal recessive inheritance; however the type of retinitis pigmentosa in the siblings is generally same.
