Background:

  • Visual hallucinations can be challenging to treat.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of "release hallucinations" is crucial for effective intervention.

Observation:

  • Seven patients experienced a complete resolution of visual hallucinations.
  • The hallucinations observed were characterized as "release hallucinations".

Findings:

  • Tiapride administration led to the disappearance of visual hallucinatory manifestations.
  • The therapeutic effects of tiapride were sustained throughout the treatment duration.

Implications:

  • Tiapride shows promise as a treatment for specific types of visual hallucinations.
