Musical hallucinations represent a specific form of auditory hallucinations whereby patients experience formed music without an external source. We describe a 60-year-old woman with history of bilateral hearing impairment and tinnitus who experienced both recognizable and non-recognizable songs. Curiously, she was able to reproduce non-recognizable songs in a way that could be recognized by others. This phenomenon is in line with current understanding that musical hallucinations represent abnormal activity in the auditory associative cortices, raising intriguing questions regarding memory, forgetting, and access to lost memories.
音乐性幻觉是一种特殊形式的听觉幻觉,患者在没有外部声源的情况下体验到成形的音乐。我们描述了一位 60 岁女性,双侧听力障碍和耳鸣病史,经历了可识别和不可识别的歌曲。奇怪的是,她能够以一种可以被他人识别的方式再现不可识别的歌曲。这种现象符合当前的理解,即音乐性幻觉代表听觉联合皮层的异常活动,这引发了关于记忆、遗忘和获取丢失记忆的有趣问题。
