摘要:
Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS), as described in the psychiatric literature, refers to pseudohallucinations in elderly people who frequently suffer from reduced visual acuity. There is no established treatment for CBS. We report two cases involving elderly women with CBS who were successfully treated with valproate. The present results suggest that valproate can be useful for CBS in some patients. (C) 2000 Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins.
