Brain imaging in a case of Capgras' syndrome
SW Lewis
Genetics Section, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, London.
A patient developed Capgras' syndrome as part of an interictal psychosis of
epilepsy; magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral subcortical lesions
in occipitotemporal and frontal regions. These findings have implications
for the postulated association between Capgras' syndrome and
neuropsychological deficits, in particular prosopagnosia.
