  1. Visual hallucinations in neurological and ophthalmological disease: pathophysiology and management

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2020-03-25 Brain scans and imaging

    Visual hallucinations are common in older people and are especially associated with ophthalmological and neurological disorders, including dementia and Parkinson's disease.

  2. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2013-06-17 Brain scans and imaging

    Defective visual information processing from both central and peripheral pathways is one of the suggested mechanisms of visual hallucination in Parkinson's disease (PD).

  3. Visual hallucinations in PD and Lewy body dementias: old and new hypotheses

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Behavioural neurology 2013-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Visual Hallucinations (VH) are a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and the Lewy body dementias (LBD) of Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).

  4. Testing an aetiological model of visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2011-09-15 Brain scans and imaging

    When corrected for multiple comparisons, patients with visual hallucinations had significantly greater disease duration, treatment duration, motor severity and complications, sleep disturbances, in particular excessive daytime somnolence and rapid eye movement sleep behavioural disorder, disorders of mood, autonomic dysfunction and global, frontal and visuoperceptive cognitive dysfunction.
