PURPOSE: To describe a case with retinitis pigmentosa associated with sea fan type retinal neovascularization. METHODS: Complete ocular examination including fluorescein angiography was performed in a 9-year-old girl. RESULTS: Ophthalmoscopically, in addition to arteriolar narrowing and bone corpuscular pigmentation of both retinae, a vascular lesion with surrounding intraretinal exudation was noted in the upper equatorial region of the right eye. On fluorescein angiography, the lesion stained in the form of a sea fan neovascularization. CONCLUSION: Sea fan type of neovascularization can be seen in association with retinitis pigmentosa. Fluorescein angiography is important in identifying the exact nature of such a lesion.
