Capgras syndrome is an unfrequent delusional disorder based on the patient's belief that a significant person for him or her, mainly the spouse, becomes a "double", undistinguishable from the real one, but threatening in some way. There are about two hundred reports of the syndrome in international psychiatric literature. This paper describes a new case in a woman aged 68, diagnosed of Major Affective Disorder, without signs of any other organic mental disease. The authors review some ethiological theories in relation with the disorder, which are contrasted with the characteristics of the new case.
卡普格拉综合征是一种罕见的妄想性障碍,患者认为对其来说重要的人,主要是配偶,变成了一个与真人无法区分但在某种程度上具有威胁性的“替身”。国际精神病学文献中约有两百篇关于该综合征的报告。本文描述了一名68岁女性的新病例,她被诊断为重度情感障碍,没有任何其他器质性精神疾病的迹象。作者回顾了与该障碍相关的一些病因学理论,并将其与新病例的特征进行了对比。
