چکیده
|
Objective: this is a case report discussing about the charles bonnet syndrome (cbs). cbs is a condition in which extremely vivid and well-formed visual hallucinations occur episodically with great profusion. they are typically experienced in clear consciousness, and the insight is either retained or very quickly attained into the unreal nature of the phenomena. method: we report a case of a 70 year-old malaysian male who has been suffering from tourette disorder for the past 40 years and was blind bilaterally. results: he presented with episodic, nocturnal visual hallucinations. these occurred in clear consciousness and the patient’s insight to these experiences was retained. there was no history of any other major psychiatric illness in this patient. conclusion: this case illustrates a diagnosis of cbs with the differential diagnoses of epilepsy and other organic conditions
