Hemianopic colour blindness.

چکیده
A man developed cortical blindness after cerebral infarction in the distribution of both posterior cerebral arteries. When he recovered from this condition, he was found to be colour blind in the left visual field, but not in the right. This unusual situation resulted in apparently contradictory performances on hemifield and free-field tasks of colour discrimination, naming, and recognition. The contradictions may be explained by interhemispheric competition between a hemisphere which could discriminate colours and a hemisphere which was colour blind.

Complete Recovery from Blindness in Case of Compressive Optic Neuropathy due to Unruptured Anterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm
It is not common for an isolated visual symptom to be the first indication of an aneurysm compressing the optic nerve. The compression can lead to blindness, and a recovery from the blindness is rare. We report a female with a left painless optic neuropathy caused by an unruptured anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. The patient had a temporal hemianopic visual field defect, which progressed to b...
متن کاملComplex visual hallucinations in the hemianopic field.
From 120 patients with an homonymous hemianopia 16 experienced complex visual hallucinations in the hemianopic field. The brain lesion was located in the occipital lobe, though damage was not limited to this area. Complex hallucinations appeared after a latent period. They were weak in colour and stereotypical in appearance, which allowed differentiation from visual hallucinations of other caus...
متن کاملComputerised Simulation of Colour-blind and Colour Enhancement assisted Colour-blind
This paper presents the computerised simulation of colour-blindness and proposes a colour enhancement technique to aid colour-blinded people to use Visual Display Units (VDU). With the red-green colour perception difficulties, the ISH model has been used to develop the algorithms. The simulator and colour enhancement have been tested by colour-blind people and compared to existing simulators fo...
متن کاملScotopic vision in colour-blinds
Alleles causing colour-blindness are present in humans at non-negligible levels, and it is not yet understood how colour-blindness is maintained, since colour-vision probably provides a selective advantage, e.g. when foraging. We show that after dark-adaptation colour-blinds had lower light perception thresholds than colour-normals (0.44 log-units), which may give a selective advantage under sc...

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) destroys the major source of anatomical input to extrastriate cortical areas (V2, V3, V4 and V5) and produces cortical blindness ± an absence of any sensation of light and colour ± in the visual ®eld contralateral to the side of the lesion. Neuroimaging studies, nevertheless, have recently demonstrated dorsal and ventral extrastriate activation for stati...
