Capgras syndrome is characterized by a delusion of impostors who are thought to be physically similar but psychologically distinct from the misidentified person. This syndrome is generally thought to be relatively rare. Most of our knowledge about Capgras syndrome derives from single case studies and small series of cases usually from diagnostically heterogeneous groups. In this article, a series of 31 patients suffering from both paranoid schizophrenia and Capgras syndrome is described. Issues pertaining to the phenomenology of Capgras syndrome, the possible relation between Capgras syndrome and other delusional misidentification syndromes, and a neurobiological hypothesis aimed at explaining Capgras syndrome are discussed.
卡普格拉综合征的特征是存在冒充者妄想，这些冒充者被认为在身体上与被误认的人相似，但在心理上却截然不同。这种综合征通常被认为相对罕见。我们对卡普格拉综合征的了解大多来自单病例研究以及通常来自诊断异质性群体的小系列病例。本文描述了一组31例同时患有偏执型精神分裂症和卡普格拉综合征的患者。文中讨论了与卡普格拉综合征现象学、卡普格拉综合征与其他妄想性错认综合征之间可能的关系，以及旨在解释卡普格拉综合征的神经生物学假说相关的问题。
