This paper discusses the neuropsychiatric sequelae associated with traumatic brain injuries and presents a case of visual hallucinations consistent with Charles Bonnet syndrome.
Traumatic brain injuries are often associated with a broad range of neuropsychiatric sequelae, for which no straightforward treatment approach is established. Historically, the treatment of traumatic brain injuries has been tailored towards the symptoms presented by the patient. In this paper, we present the case of a 42 -year-old male with a past medical history significant for retinitis pigmentosa who suffered a traumatic brain injury and subsequently developed visual hallucinations consistent with Charles Bonnet syndrome.
