Psychosis is one of the most debilitating complications of Parkinson disease (PD). Although research on PD psychosis has been focused on the study of well-structured visual hallucinations (VH), currently accepted National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke-National Institute of Mental Health diagnostic criteria emphasize minor hallucinations (MH) as the most common psychotic phenomena in PD. The objective of this review is to comprehensively describe the clinical and research advances on the understanding of MH and to provide future directions for obtaining further insights into their potential major implications for PD management and prognosis.
