Abstract

Sixty-nine schizophrenic patients (52 men and 17 women) who were consecutive admissions to Shehar Psychiatric Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia, were investigated for the phenomenology and frequency of visual hallucinations. Of these patients 43 (62 per cent) were visually hallucinated. It is concluded that visual hallucinations in schizophrenia are of common occurrence in this country. The need for further investigation as to the part played by cultural and other factors is emphasized.
