Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) consists of visual hallucinations that occur in patients with vision loss. In general, the patients' cognitive capacities are normal. In this case report, we aimed to discuss a 90-year-old male patient who developed visual hallucinations after vision loss in both eyes due to diabetic retinopathy, in the light of the literature. Early recognition of CBS and appropriate treatment will improve the quality of life of patients. It will also prevent possible misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments resulting from these diagnoses.
Key words: Hallucination, Visual Impairment, Diabetic retinopathy
