“…Therefore, the fact that there was none in the subjects reported here may be a coincidence. However, the possible lack of a hereditary factor in unilateral retinitis pigmentosa has been pointed out already by François and Verriest (1952) and by Jacobson (1961). These authors also stressed that the disease strikes mostly late in life.…”

Outras retinopatias pigmentares chamadas de pseudorretinoses podem simular RPU como, por exemplo, doenças infecciosas e inflamatórias prévias da retina (sífilis, toxoplasmose, rubéola, tuberculose e outras viroses).…”
