Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a disorder with visual deficit and complex recurrent visual hallucination in conscious patients, described for the first time by Charles Bonnet. It has been found in association with variable pathologic conditions of the eyes, central visual pathways and occipital lobe. Occipital lobe lesion is an important cause of visual field deficit associated with elementary simple hallucinations, whereas complex hallucinations are related to occipitotemporal and occipitoparietal visual association neocortex damage.

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.
