Abstract

The primary symptom of Charles Bonnet Syndrome is the occurrence of chronic visualhallucinations, which are observed in patients belonging to the geriatric population who hadrecently experienced a significant loss of vision. Charles Bonnet Syndrome is under-recognisedowing to its low awareness among clinicians. We report a case of a 78-year-old man withblindness due to keratitis and age-related macular degeneration brought for a psychiatricconsultation after the onset of visual hallucinations. Black insects playing on the patient’s bodyalong with visuals of the meals others could not see characterised the patient’s hallucinations.Physicians are expected to have substantial knowledge of Charles Bonnet Syndrome for itscorrect diagnosis and management.

Özet

Charles Bonnet Sendromu ileri derecede görme kaybı yaşayan özellikle geriatrik hasta popülasyonunda sıklıkla kronik görsel halüsinasyonların ön planda olduğu, çeşitli halüsinasyonlar ile karakterize bir klinik tablodur. Charles Bonnet Sendromu klinisyenler arasında hastalığın farkındalığının ve tanınırlığının az olması nedeniyle az tanı veya yanlış tanı almaktadır. Burada yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonu ve fungal keratit tablolarının birlikte olması ile giden ve ciddi görme kaybı yaşaması sonrası yemeklerinin üzerinde gördüğü, diğer insanların görmediği siyah böceklerle karakterize görsel halüsinasyonları nedeniyle psikiyatri bölümünden konsültasyon istenen 78 yaşında herhangi bir nörolojik hastalığı olmayan bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Hekimlerin Charles Bonnet Sendromu konusunda bilgi sahibi olmaları ve bu konuda farkındalığı artırmak amaçlanmaktadır.
