    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Capgras delusion is a rare psychiatric disorder.
    • Cerebral dysfunction can manifest in various neurological conditions.

    Observation:

    • A case of a psychotic woman with Capgras symptoms is presented.
    • Neurophysiological and neuroimaging findings confirmed cerebral dysfunction.

    Findings:

    • Capgras symptoms are not solely explained by psychosis or cerebral dysfunction.
    • The simultaneous presence of both cerebral dysfunction and psychosis is necessary for the development of Capgras symptoms.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the complex interplay between neurological and psychiatric factors in delusions.
    • Understanding these interactions is crucial for diagnosing and treating Capgras syndrome.
