Atypical Charles Bonnet syndrome and psychosis in Parkinson´s disease: two players in one patient
Psychosis in Parkinson´s disease manifests most often with visual hallucinations and delusions in people with Parkinson´s disease. Prevalence of other forms of hallucinations is much lower and may suggest an alternative diagnosis. Rarely bimodal hallucinations can occur. We report a case of a patient with Parkinson´s disease with visual hallucinations along with coexisting auditory hallucinations which are caused by rare atypical Charles Bonnet syndrome arising from longstanding and profound deafness.
