    Patients experienced vivid visual hallucinations, initially misdiagnosed. Large occipital lobe lesions were the cause, leading to visual transpositions, not psychiatric issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Visual hallucinations can be misattributed to psychiatric or metabolic conditions.
    • Neurologic examination may not reveal obvious deficits in some cases.

    Observation:

    • Three patients reported recurrent visual images of recently viewed objects or scenes.
    • These visual experiences were not limited to areas of visual field deficit.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography revealed large occipital lobe lesions in all three patients.
    • The visual phenomena represented transpositions in time or space, linked to prior visual perception.

    Implications:

    • Occipital lobe lesions should be considered in cases of unexplained visual hallucinations.

  • This highlights the complex relationship between brain lesions and subjective visual experiences.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires correlating visual phenomena with neuroimaging findings.
