Description | Case Report
ABSTRACT This case report describes a 21-year-old patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) diagnosed as phobia with prominent visual hallucinations which were incapacitating. He was treated with sertraline 200 mg/d and clonazepam 0.5 mg/d for 1 month after which his symptoms resolved. It was emphasized that patients with ICD are prone to develop psychiatric disorder and require special attention. Visual hallucinations developed may be present across different spectrum of disorders. Treating the underlying condition resolves hallucinations occurring without psychotic features.
