ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Musical hallucination is a type of complex auditory hallucination. Possible etiologies are deafness, psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, major depression, use of medication and stress, besides neurologic diseases including epilepsy, stroke and cancer. Uncommon etiologies encompass infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and sensory deprivation. Although musical hallucinations have a major impact on patients' lives, they have been undervalued and understudied in the literature. We report a case of a 79-year-old woman with musical hallucination (hearing a sung National anthem) without cognitive impairment or hearing loss. The patient had preserved insight of her complaint and responded well to neuroleptics.
RESUMO
RESUMO A alucinação musical é o um tipo de alucinação auditiva complexa. As etiologias possíveis são a perda auditiva, transtornos psiquiátricos tais como a esquizofrenia, depressão maior, uso de medicações e estresse, condições neurológicas como a epilepsia, acidente vascular encefálico e neoplasias. Etiologias menos frequentes englobam doenças infecciosas, metabólicas e endócrinas e privação sensorial. Apesar das alucinações musicais causarem grandes repercussões na vida dos pacientes sempre foram pouco valorizadas e estudadas na literatura. Relatamos o caso de uma senhora de 79 anos com alucinação musical (ouvia o hino nacional cantado), sem déficit cognitivo ou perda auditiva. A paciente tinha insight de seu problema e respondeu bem ao tratamento com neurolépticos.
