Minor hallucinations in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder indicative of early phenoconversion: A preliminary study

Minor hallucinations (MH) are psychotic symptoms that can occur anywhere between prodromal to early Parkinson’s disease and after onset of motor problems. MH include visual illusions, presence hallucinations, and passage hallucinations. Isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a harbinger of neurodegenerative diseases. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the clinical characteristics of isolated RBD with MH and the risk of phenoconversion.

Minor hallucinations may be utilized as early clinical markers for prodromal estimation of neurodegenerative diseases. CLICK TO REVIEW
