Unilateral color vision abnormality in a patient with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet counts (HELLP) syndrome

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Abstract: We present a case of unilateral color vision abnormality in a 34-year-old postpartum woman. She complained of color vision abnormality on day 1 post-partum. Fundus examination revealed serous retinal detachment in both eyes. These lesions were much more prominent in the left eye than the right. Color vision testing with a Farnworth Dichotomous Test showed confusion pattern of the tritan axis in left eye. Her color vision abnormality gradually ameliorated and retinal detachment completely resolved on day 34 post-partum. Although serous retinal detachment was detected in both eyes, we speculate that this inequality of the color vision test is resulted from the different condition of serous retinal detachment in both eyes. Keywords: color vision, optical coherence tomography, serous retinal detachment, HELLP
