Review of 13 cases of Capgras syndrome
R Kiriakos and J Ananth
The authors describe 13 psychotic patients who had Capgras syndrome. Only 4
patients had evidence of organicity. The authors conclude that Capgras
syndrome occurs equally in functional psychosis and in the presence of
organicity and recommend that the presence or absence of organicity be
determined in every patient with Capgras syndrome.
