description A male patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) accompanied by repeated vitreous hemorrhage in both eyes underwent unilateral vitrectomy. Visual acuity recovered to 0.8 in the operated right eye, and no hemorrhage, complications or progression of RP were observed. Fluorescein angiography performed 2 months after surgery detected neovascularization at the optic disc in the operated right eye, but not in the non-operated left eye, and no avascular areas were found in either eye. Vitrectomy may be effective for the treatment of RP accompanied by vitreous hemorrhage.
