Sample text

In a case report [25], an 80-year-old right-handed woman, previously in good health, developed flashing lights of different colors in her right visual field while watching television. These continued for about half an hour. She then saw “a red curtain” descend over her right field, followed at once by a right field hallucination of “four or five men,” variably dressed (two or three in business suits, one in a cowboy suit 38 E. Kumral and hat, one in a plaid shirt), moving about, not speaking, and not relating to one another.

The patient perceived these images as unreal illusions. She also reported the transformation of the animals into human figures, such as children playing the dolls. The patient also suffered from afternoon somnolence and insomnia at night. L’Hermitte pointed the similarity of the visual hallucinations to dreaming, according to their incoherent nature, the prevalence of mobile and multiple-colored images, and visuotactile associations. This type of hallucination was called hypnagogic because of the predilection for appearance during the late evening, but later, Van Bogaert suggested the term “peduncular hallucinosis” after a pathological verification of a patient with mesencephalic infarction [15].
