A patient with AIDS developed the Capgras' syndrome as part of an acute confusional state resulting from an opportunistic infection. Neuropsychological testing suggested non-dominant hemisphere dysfunction with impaired facial recognition. Serial CT scanning showed a right parietal lesion which resolved after the psychosis improved. These findings provide further evidence for the hypothesis that selective visuospatial deficits underlie the development of Capgras' syndrome.
一名艾滋病患者出现了卡普格拉综合征，这是由机会性感染导致的急性意识模糊状态的一部分。神经心理学测试表明非优势半球功能障碍伴面部识别受损。连续CT扫描显示右侧顶叶病变，在精神病症状改善后该病变消失。这些发现为以下假说提供了进一步证据，即选择性视觉空间缺陷是卡普格拉综合征发病的基础。
