A 53-year-old man with hypertension was admitted to our hospital, for somnolence, horizontal gaze palsy, right hemiparesis and right sensory disturbance. Brain CT scan revealed a high density area from the left lower pontine tegmentum to the left tegmentum of the lower midbrain. As he became alert, he reported visual hallucination. Two weeks after onset of stroke, he complained tactile hallucination on his right half body with sensory disturbance. After disappearance of the visual hallucination, the tactile hallucination had been persisted. This is the first report of peduncular hallucinosis with long-persisted tactile hallucination due to brainstem bleeding. Tactile hallucination was suggested to be associated with sensory disturbance and extensive destruction of the brain stem tegmentum.
