Jacques Jean Lhermitte (1877-1959) was among the most accomplished neurologists of the 20th century. In addition to working as a clinician and instructor, he authored more than 800 papers and 16 books on neurology, neuropathology, psychiatry, and mystical phenomena. In addition to the well-known "Lhermitte's sign," an electrical shock-like sensation caused by spinal cord irritation in demyelinating disease, Lhermitte was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between the physical substance of the brain and the experience of the mind. A fascinating example of this is the syndrome of peduncular hallucinosis, characterized by vivid visual hallucinations occurring in fully lucid patients. This syndrome, which was initially described as the result of a midbrain insult, also may occur with injury to the thalamus or pons. It has been reported as a presenting symptom of various tumors and as a complication of neurosurgical procedures. Here, the authors review the life of Lhermitte and provide a historical review of the syndrome of peduncular hallucinosis.
雅克·让·勒赫米特（Jacques Jean Lhermitte）（1877-1959 年）是 20 世纪最杰出的神经学家之一。他不仅是一名临床医生和教师，还撰写了 800 多篇关于神经病学、神经病理学、精神病学和神秘现象的论文和 16 本书籍。除了著名的“Lhermitte 征”（由脱髓鞘疾病引起的脊髓刺激引起的电击样感觉）外，Lhermitte 还是研究大脑物质与心理体验之间关系的先驱。一个引人入胜的例子是动眼神经幻觉综合征，其特征是在完全清醒的患者中出现生动的视觉幻觉。这种综合征最初被描述为中脑损伤的结果，也可能发生在丘脑或脑桥损伤时。它已被报道为各种肿瘤的首发症状和神经外科手术的并发症。在这里，作者回顾了 Lhermitte 的生平，并对动眼神经幻觉综合征进行了历史回顾。
