    Journal: Aust N Z J Psychiatry; 1998 Jun; 32(3):454-6. PubMed ID: 9672737.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to describe a case of musical hallucinations with temporal lobe abnormalities responding to carbamazepine treatment. CLINICAL PICTURE: A 63-year-old woman suffered from musical hallucinations accompanied by mild left temporal spike activity. TREATMENT: She received carbamazepine treatment. OUTCOME: Four weeks of carbamazepine treatment diminished her musical hallucinations in parallel with the normalisation of her mild left temporal spike activity. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that carbamazepine can be an effective treatment for musical hallucinations with temporal lobe abnormalities.
