Peduncular hallucinosis associated with posterior thalamic infarction.
Peduncular hallucinations are generally associated with lesions of the midbrain. We describe a 68-year-old man who developed left hemiparesis, paraesthesias on the left side and vivid visual hallucinations, suggesting peduncular hallucinosis. MRI demonstrated a right posterior thalamic infarct as the sole lesion.
