A.D., Elazığ The Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a clinical syndrome described as autosomal recessively inherited tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism with bleeding diathesis and accumulation of ceroid in tissues. A patient with bleeding diathesis and given thrombocyte suspension presented with amaurosis fugax, consulted and diagnosed as HPS. We reported the characteristic findings of the HPS that can be easily overlooked in patients with albinism. Keywords : Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, Ocular albinism, Platelet disfunction
