Charles Bonnet syndrome is a condition characterised by the presence of visual hallucinations in patients having visual impairment most commonly reported in the seventh decade. We describe a case of a 55-year-old lady who had developed retinopathy causing significant visual loss secondary to diabetes mellitus. She had started seeing images of men for the past 2 months which made her feel uncomfortable and seek psychiatric help. She was aware that the hallucinations were not real but a part of her imagination. A detailed history did not reveal any psychopathology but the patient had several medical complications due to her uncontrolled diabetes. Pregabalin, which was started for her neuropathy, dramatically remitted her symptoms within 2 days.
查尔斯·邦尼特综合征是一种以视幻觉为特征的病症，常见于视力受损的患者，多见于七十岁左右。我们描述了一例55岁女性病例，她因糖尿病引发视网膜病变，导致严重视力丧失。在过去两个月里，她开始看到男性的影像，这让她感到不适并寻求精神科帮助。她意识到这些幻觉并非真实存在，只是她想象的一部分。详细病史未发现任何精神病理学问题，但该患者因糖尿病控制不佳出现了多种并发症。因神经病变开始服用的普瑞巴林在两天内显著缓解了她的症状。
