Abstract

 Charles Bonnet syndrome is among one of the clinical conditions which are not very commonly encountered. Visual hallucinations generally found along with it are complex but interesting. Elderly persons with visual impairment are more prone to develop this syndrome. But pieces of literature have shown that impairment of visual function might not be always accompanying with it. Here we are reporting a case of Charles Bonnet syndrome that had no gross visual abnormality.

Keywords: Charles Bonnet Syndrome; Hallucination; Occipital Cortex; Olanzapine.
