A Falx Meningioma that Caused Visual and Auditory Hallucinations : A Case Report

Abstract

Although rarely reported, lesions in the corpus callosum can cause hallucinations, and the authors present the case a patient with a falx meningioma that had compressed the body of the corpus callosum and had caused both visual and auditory hallucinations. After the complete removal of this tumor, the body of the corpus callosum recovered its normal appearance and the hallucinations disappeared. This thus suggests that compression of the interhemispheric fibers in the corpus callosum had caused these hallucinations.
