Aim: A dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP) family of four generations with a follow-up of 15 years, including 2 brothers of generation IV affected by Coats-type changes, is herein described. Methods: Retrospective, single-center case series. Eleven family members, 6 of whom affected by RP, were examined using visual acuity tests, ophthalmoscopy, Goldmann visual field, electroretinography, and atipical coherence tomography. Results and Conclusion: In this family, only two out of eleven examined patients had RP with Coats’-type changes. Review of the literature disclosed four other familial cases of Coats-type retinitis pigmentosa.
