  1. Note: PDVH, Parkinson’s Disease with Visual Hallucinations; PDnonVH, Parkinson’s Disease without Visual Hallucinations; UPDRS. Values are presented as mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise indicated. Statistically significant at p <.05. Mean lengths of the right, left, and total PCS in Parkinson’s disease with visual hallucinations (PDVH) and Parkinson’s disease without visual hallucinations (PDnonVH) groups. Error bars represent standard deviations. PCS lengths were significantly shorter in the PDVH group compared to the PDnonVH group for all categories (Right PCS: p <.001; Left PCS: p <.001; Total PCS: p <.001).
