  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Childhood visual symptomatology can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Recurrent visual complaints may indicate various underlying conditions, not solely migraine.

Observation:

  • A 9-year-old partially sighted boy experienced paroxysmal zoopsias (visual hallucinations).
  • These episodes were attributed to Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Findings:

  • Charles Bonnet syndrome involves visual hallucinations in individuals with chronic visual impairment.
  • This represents the fourth reported pediatric case of Charles Bonnet syndrome.
  • A review of previous pediatric cases was conducted.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case expands the understanding of Charles Bonnet syndrome in pediatric populations.
  • It emphasizes the need for broader differential diagnoses in pediatric visual disturbances.
  • Early recognition can prevent misdiagnosis and guide appropriate management.
