Lhermitte Hallucinosis

**Lhermitte Hallucinosis** is a rare neurological disorder in which patients may experience visions, hear voices, and feel the sensation that their bodies are moving without conscious awareness.

However, until the mid-19th century, hallucinating lhermittic syndrome remained a mystery to researchers.

In the 15th century, the French neurologist, father of neurophysiology, Jerome le Comte wrote the famous work Le Restrepo, in which he described various forms of neurological disorders, including visual, hearing and motor disorders.

This leads to the fact that a person begins to doubt whether he is in the real world or in an illusory space. The author of the classification himself describes the disease as “a mania for experiencing various types of hallucinations (one after another, with subsequent relieving and intensifying phases.” Other researchers specify that this may be a mania with an overvalued idea
