Clinical evaluation of 14 patients with the Charles Bonnet Syndrome (isolated visual hallucinations).
Comprehensive psychiatry, 1994Co-Authors: R J Teunisse, Frans G. Zitman, Dick C.m. RaesAbstract:A group of 14 patients with isolated visual hallucinations who met the criteria proposed by Gold and Rabins for Charles Bonnet Syndrome (with the exception of the criterion "hallucinations are stereotyped") underwent psychiatric, neurologic, and ophthalmologic tests. Additional common characteristics of the hallucinations included the absence of personal meaning of the content of the hallucinations and the disappearance of the hallucinations when the patients closed their eyes. There was no evidence for a relationship of the Syndrome to psychiatric disorders. In the majority of cases, ocular pathology and neurologic disturbances were diagnosed. There was also evidence that most patients were suffering from social isolation. From these data it is concluded that a combination of factors is probably responsible for the Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

Steroid-responsive Charles Bonnet Syndrome in temporal arteritis.
The Journal of neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences, 2004Co-Authors: Mehrdad Razavi, Robert D. Jones, K. Manzel, Deema Fattal, Matthew RizzoAbstract:The authors report a patient with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis who manifested Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Treatment with steroid resulted in prompt resolution of visual hallucinations, despite persistent visual loss, suggesting that cerebral ischemia is a cofactor for the development of CBS.

Acute Charles Bonnet Syndrome secondary to eye patching.
General hospital psychiatry, 2011Co-Authors: Thomas E. Jackson, Simon N. MadgeAbstract:Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to report a case of Charles Bonnet Syndrome secondary to eye patching following eyelid reconstruction with an unusually acute onset. Method An observational case report was conducted. Results The patient reported complex visual hallucinations that started less than 10 minutes after patching of her right eye (the left eye had poor vision from previous trauma). The patch was removed after 2 days, and the hallucinations gradually stopped over the subsequent 2 days. Conclusion This case of Charles Bonnet Syndrome describes an unusually acute onset of hallucinations and is only the second reported case following eye patching. Eye patching is commonly used in a number of situations, and it is important to be aware of this association, as the diagnosis of Charles Bonnet Syndrome is often overlooked.

Charles Bonnet Syndrome in temporal arteritis.
The Journal of rheumatology, 1995Co-Authors: Moshe Sonnenblick, Ronit Nesher, Y. Rozenman, Gideon NesherAbstract:An 87-year-old woman presented with Charles Bonnet Syndrome - the occurrence of formed visual hallucinations in sane aged individuals. This was followed by headaches and unilateral visual loss, and the diagnosis of temporal arteritis (TA) was confirmed by biopsy. Steroid therapy resulted in disappearance of hallucinations, which recurred 7 mo later, responding to an increase in steroid dosage. Charles Bonnet Syndrome may be an early sign of decreasing visual acuity in aged individuals ; thus, diagnosis of TA or exacerbation of established TA should be considered in such patients.
