Musical hallucinations: report of two unusual cases [see comments]

Journal/Book: Can J Psychiatry. 1991; 36: 609-11.

Abstract: Two elderly patients with musical hallucinations are described. In the first case, the musical hallucinations were precipitated by the administration of benzodiazepines. The symptoms in the second case resembled those described in cases of visual hallucinosis (Charles Bonnet syndrome) in the elderly. Issues related to the presentation and course of musical hallucinations are discussed.
