Retinitis Pigmentosa | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Retinitis pigmentosa is a retinal/choroidal degeneration caused by various genetic defects. The term retinitis pigmentosa is really a misnomer since it is not inflammation (retinitis) and it is not a disease of the pigmentary system (pigmentosa). | Retinitis Pigmentosa |

 |
Serpiginous Choroidopathy | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Serpiginous choroidopathy (also known as Geographic choroidopathy) usually affects the choroid, the choriocapillaris and the retinal pigment epithelium in both eyes. | Serpiginous Choroidopathy |

 |
Birdshot | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy is a posterior uveitis seen in women 30-60 years of age who present with floaters, changes in color vision, and difficulty with night vision. | Birdshot Choroidopathy |

 |
Pars Planitis | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Pars planitis is an inflammatory condition seen in children and young adults. It is associated with inflammation of the pars plana--at the far periphery of the retina. | Pars Planitis |

Vogt Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) Syndrome | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Vogt-Koyanagi disease causes bilateral uveitis, along with alopecia, vitiligo, and hearing loss. | Vogt Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome (VKH) |

Usher Syndrome | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD | Powerpoint describing Usher Syndrome, a hereditary condition characterized by congenital, bilateral, and profound sensorineural hearing loss, adolescent onset Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and vestibular areflexia | Usher Syndrome; Retinal Dystrophy; Retinitis Pigmentosa; Hearing Loss |
