Abstract
CLINICAL CASE
The case is presented of a 73-year-old male patient who referred to having black and white vision. Computed tomography showed normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Magnetic resonance imaging was not performed because the patient refused to undergo further examinations.
DISCUSSION
Achromatopsia may be the first or only NPH symptom. It may be prudent to ask patients with NPH regarding colour vision.
