We present a case of Coats’-like retinitis pigmentosa in a 22-year-old female patient. Both eyes showed the typical funduscopic features of retinitis pigmentosa, and the right eye showed scar formation due to exudative retinal detachment in the temporal peripheral retina with dilatation of the retinal vessels. Fluorescein angiography did not show dye leakage at the scar lesion or the dilated retinal vessels. The patient was generally unaware of the visual deterioration and night blindness. On the basis of this case report, we emphasize the importance of considering the development of Coats’-like exudative change in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
