Charles Bonnet syndrome is a neurological disease characterised by clear, recurrent visual hallucinations usually following visual loss. It is often misdiagnosed as psychosis, delirium or early dementia, but patients generally retain insight. Mark Greener discusses what we currently know about this fascinating condition and what remains a mystery. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons
