The occurrence of hallucinations in patients with Parkinson's disease is often related to antiparkinsonian therapy, but other factors such as cognitive decline and sleep‐cycle disturbances are thought to contribute. We describe an artist who depicted her visual hallucinations experienced in the course of Parkinson's disease. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
