Thalamic experiential hallucinosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients with an infarct limited to the thalamus developed auditory and visual experiential hallucinations. Neuropathological studies in one patient showed a small cavity in the right intralaminar nuclei surrounded by focal spongiform change, partly involving the right dorsomedial nucleus. Neuroradiological data in another patient indicated that the same nuclei in the left thalamus were also affected. It was concluded that a unilateral thalamic lesion could cause experiential hallucinations and the intralaminar and dorsomedial nuclei might be important structures to explain the phenomenon.

متن کاملA potential case of peduncular hallucinosis treated successfully with olanzapine.
Visual hallucinations have a differential diagnosis, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric in nature. Described first by Lhermitte, peduncular hallucinosis is an uncommon etiology of visual hallucinations (VH). Typically, the offending lesion is vascular in origin and occurs at the level of the midbrain, thalamus, or rostral brainstem. Interestingly, the origin of the VH in our patient's case cou...
متن کاملHallucinosis in idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
BACKGROUND Hallucinosis is a complication of the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease commonly thought to afflict older, chronically medicated, cognitively impaired patients. However, patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease of short duration experiencing hallucinosis on relatively low doses of dopaminergic medication have been found. The aim, therefore, was to investigate the homoge...
