Talk:Visual release hallucinations

message: I'm removing the reference to perineum tingling for two reasons.  The first is that there is no citation and I can't find anything on the web that describes this.  The second reason is that Charles Bonnet Syndrome is by definition a visual disorder. It may be true that a tingling sensation in the perineum is an ocassional coincident disorder, but unless it were an extremely common coincident disorder, its mention doesn't belong on this page. If it is a common coincident disorder, then whoever puts it back, include a citation, and describe it as what it is. Only say it is a symptom of CBS if you have a reputable source that claims that.

thread_title:  Removal of Perineum Tingling 

message: Hello, my name is George Clapski.  I live in Minneapolis and I am 86 years old.  I am very rich.  I own a farm near St. Cloud.  I have Charles Bonnet syndrome.  It is a very weird condition.  Sometimes I will wake up and I will see a large group of people standing out on the street across from my house throwing beer bottles at my house and coming at me with pitchforks and flaming torches.  Sometimes my cat will start changing colours right before my eyes.  
Love, George Clapski
:I'm sorry to hear, and hopefully you are getting the necessary help. But you being very rich should make it easier to find a responsible physician to attend to your problem. JFW | T@lk 03:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your "that can't be right"-sensor is accurate.  The statistic is ~17% of older (>65 years) adults who have significant vision loss (well beyond the need for glasses, we're talking legally blind).  Adults with that kind of vision loss represent a very small proportion of the population, and the incidence of CBS is only 17% among those adults.  I'm going to guess that it's probably closer to 0.1% - 1% of all adults.98.227.182.26 (talk) 21:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  I have Charles Bonnet syndrome 

message: I feel the contribution that User:Cypridophobia could have been more well thought out. Their sentence placement in the paragraph was from left field, making it awkward for the reader.  Ndrysdale2 (talk) 21:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editing: Characteristics 

message: The article on Charles Bonnet Syndrome fails to mention that a small percentage of the population are born with this condition, and often see these visual disturbances when their eyes are closed, especially at night when trying to sleep.

thread_title:  Bibliography for Potential Sources 

message: The title of this article was originally Charles Bonnet Syndrome. It was changed to Visual release hallucinations at 08:01, 26 August 2014 by Brodmann17 with this justification: "In conjunction with renaming in medical literature". Brodmann17 provided no citation for that.
I checked Google's ngram viewer. It had zero instances of "Visual release hallucinations".
I checked Google Scholar. It has a total of 70 hits for "Visual release hallucinations" (3 for "Visual release hallucination"). Almost every one said something like "Charles Bonnet Syndrome, also known as visual release hallucinations". Google Scholar has a total of 3,670 hits for "Charles Bonnet Syndrome". These data suggest to me that Charles Bonnet Syndrome is much better known than visual release hallucinations, and hence is to be preferred as the title of the article.
I read some of the scientific literature to establish the origin of "Visual release hallucinations". It seems it is a hypothesis about the origin of the hallucinations. Charles Bonnet Syndrome, on the other hand, is a simple description, and hence is to be preferred.

replies: text: Another argument for returning the name of the article to Charles Bonnet Syndrome is that this or its abbreciation is used in much of the article.
