Abstract

Objective: Peduncular hallucinosis is the experience of vivid, complex, predominantly visual, rarely auditory and tactile hallucinations in lesions situated in upper brain stem and commonly involving the thalamus bilaterally. Method: In this study, a case of peduncular hallucinosis due to ischemic lesions of the pons arising in a patient with poorly controlled hypertension and diabetes is presented and the pathophysiology of hallucinations in organic lesions are discussed. Result and Discussion: The current consensus is that pedincular hallucinosis is due to dysfunction of the reticular activating system in rostral brain stem. Clinicians may be advised to consider pedincular hallucinosis in hallucinations of late onset especially in patients with vascular risk factors.

Özet

Amaç: Pedinküler halüsinoz, üst beyin sapında yer alan, talamusu da sıklıkla ve bilateral olarak içine alan lezyonlarda, canlı, karmaşık, baskın olarak görsel, nadiren de işitsel veya taktil varsanıların yaşanması durumuna denmektedir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada hipertansiyon ve diyabeti olan ve düzenli tedavi almayan bir vakada ponstaki iskemik lezyonlara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan pedinküler halüsinoz sunulmuş ve organik lezyonlarda varsanıların oluşum mekanizmaları tartışılmıştır. Sonuç ve Yorum: Günümüzde pedinküler halüsinozun rostral beyin sapındaki retiküler aktivasyon sisteminin işlev bozukluğuna bağlı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Klinisyenlerin geç başlangıçlı varsanıların organik nedenlerini araştırırken özellikle vasküler risk faktörleri olan hastalarda pedinküler halüsinozu da göz önünde tutmaları önerilebilir.
