    Transient peduncular hallucinations, typically linked to midbrain lesions, can occur from external compression. This case shows prompt resolution after draining a cystic craniopharyngioma compressing the midbrain.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Peduncular hallucinations are typically associated with intrinsic lesions affecting the midbrain.
    • Understanding the causes of peduncular hallucinations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with transient peduncular hallucinations.
    • The hallucinations were attributed to extrinsic compression of the midbrain.

    Findings:

    • The extrinsic compression was caused by a cystic craniopharyngioma.
    • Drainage of the cystic craniopharyngioma led to the prompt resolution of peduncular hallucinations.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for peduncular hallucinations.

  • It highlights the importance of considering extrinsic mass effects, such as craniopharyngioma, in the evaluation of midbrain-related visual disturbances.
  • Surgical or interventional drainage can be an effective treatment for resolving these symptoms.
