Hemianopic colour blindness.

M L Albert, A Reches, R Silverberg

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A patient experienced cortical blindness from a stroke affecting both posterior cerebral arteries. Post-recovery, he had color blindness in his left visual field only, suggesting interhemispheric competition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Cerebral infarction can lead to visual field defects, including cortical blindness.
    • Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions are a common cause of visual pathway damage.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with cortical blindness following bilateral PCA infarction.
    • Upon recovery, the patient exhibited unilateral color blindness in the left visual field, with preserved color vision in the right.

    Findings:

    • The patient displayed contradictory results on color vision tests across different visual fields.
    • This dissociation suggests differential recovery or residual function between cerebral hemispheres.

    Implications:

    • Interhemispheric competition may play a role in visual processing and recovery after brain injury.
