Charles Bonnet Syndrome and Other Visual Hallucinations Clinical Diagnosis and Management

Edited By Leonid Skorin, Jr., Gary M. Cusick

This book examines Charles Bonnet Syndrome and other visual hallucinations
beyond the basic neuroscience concepts by providing the reader with a
prevailing clinically applicable overview. It is a practical guide for those clinicians
assessing patients who present with visual hallucinations and require additional
evaluation to make a diagnosis and helps the clinician to formulate a clear
management approach. In addition, there is a useful narrative section with
multiple case analyses that assists clinicians, current patients, and their caregivers
to understand how others have personally dealt with these problems and which
treatment modality has worked best for them.

Key features:
• Discusses medical, surgical, optical and psychological treatment plans.
• Appeals to practising neuro-ophthalmologists, ophthalmologists,
optometrists, low vision specialists, neurologists, psychologists, psychiatrists,
occupational/physical therapists and rehabilitation counsellors.
• Uses multiple clinical cases and scenarios as illustrative examples.
• Uses current technology to illustrate visual hallucinations as seen by
patients.
• Can be used as a teaching tool for the patient and their caregiver.
