Challenges of diagnosing and treating Charles Bonnet syndrome

Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is characterized by complex visual hallucinations in visually impaired but otherwise psychologically normal individuals.1 CBS is primarily diagnosed in patients with an ophthalmic disease but is also seen in stroke patients with hemianopsia.2 Treatment of these vivid hallucinations is challenging and there is no standard treatment. Here, we present a stroke patient with CBS successfully treated with melperone.
