Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to elucidate the pathogenesis of visual hallucination(VH) in Parkinson's disease(PD). PD patients showed impairment of the visual perception especially in visual discrimination and figure ground. Voxel-based morphometry showed that PD patients with VH had widespread cortical atrophy including the occipital lobe and nucleus basalis of Meynert compared to normal control. Urinary 8-OHdG values significantly correlated with the score of TUHARS. It is assumed that VH is associated with the combination of functional decline in low-level visual cognition and functional impairment in the high-level visual cognition. In addition, oxidative stress may contribute to VH.
