[Charles Bonnet syndrome: a case report].

Miss X, a 72-year old female was brought to the psychiatry clinic by her sister who was concerned about her sister’s recent behaviour. According to her, Miss X, who was living alone at home, had prepared and laid out lunch for two people at her own home where she lived by herself. She had done this for three consecutive days despite the fact that there was nobody else present, to enjoy her meal. When questioned, Miss X had replied that she had prepared the meals for the previous president of Sri Lanka, and his wife, whom she had seen in her garden for the past three days. She was hoping they would join her for lunch, and she was wondering why they declined to do so.
