Abstract

Chronic hallucinatory psychosis is a clinical picture described by Ballet in 1912. Together with paraphrenia and paranoia, it forms a part of the chronic delusions that describes the French nosology separately from schizophrenia. It is characterized by the presence of mental automatism, chronic hallucinations and secondary delusions. This is a fairly uncommon clinical picture in our setting and is often confused with other pictures. We report a case of a 52-yearold woman and we discuss various clinical and diagnostic issues related to the disturbance.
