Although separate, the phenomena often overlap, with illusions leading to hallucinations and vice versa. ![]() ![]() The results of the phenomenological survey and those of visual hallucinations carried out in other settings suggest a common physiological substrate for visual hallucinations but with cognitive factors playing an as yet unspecified role.Īccording to the DSM IV criteria, 1 a hallucination is “a sensory perception without external stimulation of the relevant sensory organ” distinguishing it from an illusion, in which an external stimulus is perceived but then misinterpreted. These features resemble those highlighted in hallucinations in the visually impaired (Charles Bonnet's syndrome).ĬONCLUSION A consistent set of factors are associated with visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease. The content can be variable within and between hallucinators, and includes such entities as people, animals, buildings, or scenery. It stays present for a period of “seconds” or “minutes”. The image appears without any known trigger or voluntary effort, is somewhat blurred, and commonly moves. The typical visual hallucination in these patients is a complex visual image experienced while they are alert and have their eyes open. The hallucinators had a longer duration and a greater severity of illness, and tended to show more depressed mood and cognitive impairment. The survey comprised 21 patients with visual hallucinations and 23 without. RESULTS The review disclosed common factors associated with visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease including greater age and duration of illness, cognitive impairment, and depression and sleep disturbances. In parallel, a two stage questionnaire survey was carried out based on members of a local branch of the Parkinson's Disease Society and followed up with a clinical interview. METHODS A systematic literature search using standard electronic databases of published surveys and case-control studies was undertaken. There were two main objectives: firstly, to review the literature on Parkinson's disease and summarise those factors most often associated with hallucinations secondly, to carry out a clinical comparison of ambulant patients with Parkinson's disease with and without visual hallucinations, and provide a detailed phenomenological analysis of the hallucinations. 2015 12(7-8):12-9.OBJECTIVES Between 8% and 40% of patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing long term treatment will have visual hallucinations during the course of their illness.
