Description Palinopsia is a rare phenomenon in which viewed images persist after the original visual stimulus is removed, and can last from minutes to months 1. The pathophysiology behind palinopsia is still unclear but hypothesizes include an exaggeration of normal after imaging, seizure disorders, psychogenicity, or drug induction. Drugs that have serotonin receptor activity such as LSD, trazodone, nefazodone, and topiramate are known to produce palinopsia.
