title: Multiple visual hallucinations and pseudohallucinations in one individual patient: when the world is turning upside down and the television keeps falling to the ground while dwarfs are parading on the ceiling.
abstract: We report on a patient who experienced visual hallucinations and pseudohallucinations comprising palinopsia, peduncular hallucinosis, and oblique vision. The most probable etiologies of these phenomena are discussed with respect to clinical presentation and findings on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
