Visual hallucinations occur in diverse clinical circumstances including ophthalmologic diseases, neurologic disorders, toxic and metabolic disorders and idiopathic psychiatric illnesses. Their content, duration and timing relate to their cause and provide useful differential diagnostic information. Hallucinations must be distinguished from delusions and confabulation. A systematic approach to differentiating among hallucinatory syndromes may improve diagnostic accuracy.
视幻觉出现在多种临床情况下,包括眼科疾病、神经系统疾病、中毒和代谢紊乱以及特发性精神疾病。其内容、持续时间和发作时间与病因相关,并提供有用的鉴别诊断信息。幻觉必须与妄想和虚构相区分。一种区分幻觉综合征的系统方法可能会提高诊断准确性。
