A 64-year-old woman developed complex visual hallucinations consisting of snakes crawling out of people's head and on her body. She had become blind 14 years before the onset of the hallucinations. Neurosurgical removal of a large suprasellar meningioma was followed by disappearance of her hallucinations. This case suggests that the complex hallucinations often encountered in blind subjects ("release hallucinations"), a phenomenon originally described by Charles Bonnet in 1769, are related to both sensory deprivation and an impairment in CNS functioning.
一名64岁女性出现了复杂的视幻觉，幻觉内容为蛇从人们头上爬出并在她自己身上爬行。在幻觉发作前14年她就已失明。神经外科手术切除一个巨大的鞍上脑膜瘤后，她的幻觉消失了。该病例表明，盲人中经常出现的复杂幻觉（“释放性幻觉”）这一现象最初由查尔斯·博内于1769年描述，与感觉剥夺和中枢神经系统功能受损均有关。
