Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a common cause of visual hallucinations seen in elderly people with visual impairment. Well-formed visual hallucinations in clear consciousness with preserved insight are commonly reported in literature. We report a case of CBS having multisensory hallucinations. An elderly patient with visual impairment fulfilling the criteria of CBS presents with various modalities of hallucinations viz. visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations improved completely with low dose of antipsychotics. Atypical features are common in CBS and thus often make it difficult to diagnose this condition.
查尔斯·邦尼特综合征（CBS）是老年人视力障碍时出现视幻觉的常见原因。文献中普遍报道了在意识清晰且自知力保留的情况下出现的逼真视幻觉。我们报告一例患有多感官幻觉的CBS病例。一名符合CBS标准的视力障碍老年患者出现了各种幻觉形式，即视幻觉、听幻觉和触幻觉，使用低剂量抗精神病药物后这些幻觉完全消失。非典型特征在CBS中很常见，因此常常难以诊断这种疾病。
