- Abstract
Delusional misidentification syndromes (DMS) are rare neuropsychiatric disorders that are characterized by having delirious ideas regarding one's and other people, animals or places identity known by the patient. The main DMS are the Capgras syndrome, the Fregoli syndrome, the subjective double syndrome and the intermetamorphosis syndrome. They appear in context of both psychiatric illnesses and organic disorders. Different models have tried to find an explanation to the DMS, with contributions from both psychology and neurosciences. Among the causes are neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric symptoms, structural alterations, drug effects, and metabolic alterations. Management depends on the underlying pathology and the specific clinical characteristics. This review focuses specifically on the SC, since within the DMS, it is the most frequent and studied.
