Abstract
The presence of nocturnal hallucinations can be indicative of several underlying causes, one of which is represented by Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS), a pathology characterized by the occurrence of nighttime hallucinations in the absence of visual stimuli. This condition predominantly affects elderly patients, with an average age range between 75 and 85 years old. However, this pathology is often underdiagnosed due to the lack of interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge regarding this syndrome. The present article aims to highlight a case study of a patient who has been experiencing distressing nocturnal hallucinations for approximately 2 years. The patient was eventually diagnosed with visual impairments as the underlying cause of the hallucinations.
