%X Introducci車n: La coincidencia cl赤nica de retinosis pigmentaria y glaucoma es bastante frecuente. Objetivo: Determinar la asociaci車n entre ambas enfermedades por medio de variables clinicoepidemiol車gicas. M谷todos: Se realiz車 un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 85 pacientes dispensarizados en el Centro Nacional de Referencia de Retinosis Pigmentaria de La Habana, durante el primer semestre de 2010, que adem芍s padec赤an alguna de las formas de glaucoma. En la casu赤stica se utiliz車 la Clasificaci車n de la Escuela Cubana de Retinosis Pigmentaria. Resultados: Las 2 entidades cl赤nicas concomitaron en 85 pacientes (9,37 % y tasa de 0,09), sobre todo en aquellos de 41-60 a os (47,05 %), sexo femenino (57,64 %), con glaucoma cr車nico simple (54,11 %), antecedente familiar de glaucoma (14,11 %), retinosis pigmentaria t赤pica de grado IV (40,0 %) y entre 10-20 a os de evoluci車n del proceso morboso. Conclusiones: La com迆n asociaci車n de ambas enfermedades provoca gran invalidez visual por superposici車n de sus efectos individuales. Introduction: The clinical coincidence of retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma is very frequent. Objective: To determine the association between both diseases by means of clinical and epidemiological variables. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study in 85 patients classified at the National Reference Center of Retinitis Pigmentosa in Havana, during the first semester of 2010, who also suffered from some forms of glaucoma. In our cases the Classification of the Cuban School of Retinitis Pigmentosa was used. Results: These 2 concomitant clinical entities were found in 85 patients (9,37 % and rate of 0,09), mainly in those of 41-60 years (47,05 %), female sex (57,64 %), with simple chronic glaucoma (54,11 %), and family history of glaucoma (14,11 %), retinitis pigmentosa typical of grade IV (40,0 %) and a course of the disease between 10 and 20 years. Conclusions: The common association of both diseases causes severe visual disability due to overlapping of their individual effects.
