The discussion on the pathophysiology of musical hallucinations comprises theories of deafferentation (including auditory Charles Bonnet syndrome), of sensory auditory deprivation, of parasitic memory, and of spontaneous activity in a cognitive network module.īerrios GE: Musical hallucinations: a historical and clinical study.
Anticonvulsant and antidepressive agents have been effective in the treatment of some musical hallucinations.
Hemispheric dominance seems to play no major role in the pathogenesis of musical hallucinations, but hypacusis is present in the majority of all patients. Musical hallucinations most often occur in patients over age 60 years, although patients whose hallucinations are caused by focal brain lesions are significantly younger. There is a female preponderance of about 70%.
Analyzing the published cases, five subgroups can be separated according to their etiology: hypacusis, psychiatric disorders, focal brain lesions, epilepsy, and intoxication. Musical hallucinations have been described in numerous neurologic and psychiatric patients, but their pathophysiologic background is not understood.
