Peduncular Hallucinosis: a Case Report and Topic Review
Abstract
Peduncular hallucinosis is a clinical condition characterized by vivid, colorful, complex visual hallucinations that often recur in time and are described in association with midbrain and thalamic lesions.
It is a rare phenomenon and its precise pathophysiology is unknown.
We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman who developed peduncular hallucinosis in relation to
extrinsic compression of the midbrain secondary to a vestibular schwannoma.
Clinical features and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.
