Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a clinical condition in which patients with visual impairment experience visual hallucinations (VH) in the presence of clear consciousness. It typically occurs in elderly people and confuses clinicians with multiple differential diagnoses due to VH, which can be present in a variety of clinical conditions ranging from psychosis to neurocognitive disorders (eg, neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies). In the latter, the concomitant presence of cognitive decline and parkinsonism aids the diagnosis.

Musical hallucinations are a rather rare and scarcely documented symptom. Since they can also be linked to various serious underlying neurological, somatic, or psychiatric conditions, an interdisciplinary diagnostic approach is required.
