Abstract

A 72-year-old man consulted our hospital for visual hallucination. His non-contrast computed tomography (CT) of head showed multiloculated hydrocephalus in the frontal lobe. Memantine treatment was started and his visual hallucination disappeared. This is a rare case of frontal lobe damage causing visual hallucination.
