Dreams and hallucinations under sedation or anesthesia have been well known phenomena since the introduction of anesthesia. Sexual hallucinations may lead to allegations of sexual molestation or assault by medical doctors or professional nursing staff. Hallucinations under the influence of sedative or hypnotic drugs may be very vivid and as misinterpreted as being real and it is therefore often difficult to disprove the resulting false allegations. In this report the terms drug-induced dreams and hallucinations are defined and the probable mechanism described. By a historical review and case reports the medicolegal consequences are demonstrated and procedures recommended to avoid allegations of sexual assault.
自麻醉术问世以来，镇静或麻醉状态下出现的梦境和幻觉就一直是为人熟知的现象。性幻觉可能会导致患者指控医生或专业护理人员实施性骚扰或性侵犯。镇静药或催眠药影响下产生的幻觉可能非常逼真，容易被误解为真实发生的事情，因此往往很难反驳由此产生的虚假指控。在本报告中，对药物诱发的梦境和幻觉进行了定义，并描述了其可能的机制。通过历史回顾和病例报告，展示了其法医学后果，并推荐了避免性侵犯指控的程序。
