Three cases with peduncular hallucinosis are described. The occurrence of complex visual hallucinations in each case were abrupt at the onset of the stroke. Two patients were free of hallucinations after a few days, while in the other they persisted. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomographic (CT) brain scan findings revealed thalamic involvement in these three patients.
