Zusammenfassung

Backgound: Visual hallucinations (VH) occur in about 25% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the pathophysiological mechanisms of VH in PD are not well understood. Methods: To determine the metabolic pattern associated with visual hallucinations in PD, we compared 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) between PD with (PD+H) and without hallucinations (PD-H). A total of 30 patients (13 PD+H: 70.5 ys±8.7; 17 PD-H: 67.3 ys±8.8; p
