Abstract

Case report 78-year-old male patient diagnosed with Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) showing secondary visual deficit toward end-stage glaucoma. He progressed to amaurosis, with an abrupt disappearance of hallucinations in parallel to the loss of residual vision. Discussion The paradoxical cessation of CBS occurs when the patient loses residual vision and progresses to amaurosis. The lack of stimulation, both in the corresponding retina and the cortex, lead to the disappearance of hallucinations because the desafferented and hyper-excited neurons lose the necessary stimulus that triggers CBS.
