title: Charles Bonnet syndrome disappearing with carbamazepine and valproic acid but not with levetiracetam.
abstract: Although Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) appears to be more frequent than historically reported, there are very few reports about possible pharmacological treatments. We report the case of a CBS disappearing completely with successive monotherapies of carbamazepine and valproic acid but worsening with levetiracetam.
