After an introductory survey of the literature, a report is given on three own observations of chronic tactile hallucinosis which occurred in 0.09 per cent of a non-selected group of patients. Nosological problems are discussed. In two cases the results of the neuroradiological examinations suggested an atrophy of the brain stem including the thalamus. The authors suppose that these findings are of importance in the pathogenesis of chronic tactile hallucinosis and that the syndrome can be classified among the cerebro-organic reaction forms.
