Acquired Synesthesia in RP Patient
A patient with RP experienced an unusual side effect of total vision loss when he began to 'see' movement in response to tactile stimulation. A research article providing more information on this case of synesthesia is available in PDF format on line. The reference is: Armel, KC and Ramachandran VS (1999) 'Acquired Synesthesia in Retinitis Pigmentosa' in Neurocase, Vol. 5, pp 293-296.
