Abstract: A case is reported of an organic auditory hallucinosis and depressive episode in a man aged 52. A new finding is the correlation of the musical hallucinosis to a central nervous disorder as shown by pathological sphenoidal EEG and 18FDG-PET-examination and not to acquired peripheral hearing deficit as often reported before.
