It has been suggested that musical hallucinations are often due to a focal brain lesion predominantly of right hemispheric pathologies. We report about two patients with musical hallucinations associated with a brain tumor of the right hemisphere. Although both patients were right-handed, one of them had a right hemispheric dominance for language as proven by the Wada test. The musical ability as measured by the Seashore test was not impaired. We conclude that the language dominance of the hemisphere is not primarily relevant for the development of musical hallucinations.
有人提出，音乐幻觉往往是由于主要位于右半球的局灶性脑病变所致。我们报告了两名患有与右半球脑肿瘤相关的音乐幻觉的患者。尽管两名患者都是右利手，但其中一名患者经Wada测试证明在语言方面具有右半球优势。通过西肖尔测试测量的音乐能力并未受损。我们得出结论，半球的语言优势与音乐幻觉的发生并无主要关联。
