Abstract
We assessed the use of coping strategies in Parkinson's disease patients with visual hallucinations, using a semiβstructured questionnaire. We found that 36 of our 46 Parkinson's disease subjects with hallucinations (78%) used coping strategies: cognitive techniques in 69%; interactive techniques in 62%; and visual techniques in 33%.

## Abstract Recent neuropathological and neuroimaging studies suggest the involvement of several temporal regions in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with visual hallucinations (VH). We examined 24 nondemented PD patients with VH, 21 PD patients without VH, and 21 healthy controls using a battery
## Abstract Visual hallucinations (VH) are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and are hypothesized to be due to impaired visual perception and attention deficits. We investigated whether PD patients with VH showed attention deficits, a more specific impairment of higher order visual perception, or
## Abstract We assessed the relations of visual hallucinations (VH) to cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The subjects were 37 patients without VH (VH(β)) and 31 with VH (VH(+)). Autonomic function was evaluated on the basis of cardiac 123βradioiodinated
## Abstract ## Background: There may be a relationship between cognitive impairment and visual hallucinations (VHs) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The objective of this study was to compare the cognitive profile of hallucinating vs. nonhallucinating patients with Parkinson's disease de
## Abstract Diplopia is sometimes reported by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) without apparent oculomotor disorders. We assessed clinical features and associated oculomotor and perceptual performance in 14 patients (6 male, 8 female) with PD with a peculiar type of selective diplopia. Duplic
