Capgras syndrome is a part of the delusional misidentification syndromes. In this condition, the patient believes that identical individuals have impersonated the people close to them, leading to aggression or even homicide of their relatives. The following article describes the case of a 28-year-old patient with a history of cannabis consumption who arrived at the emergency department due to an unsuccessful murder attempt against his neighbor. At the mental examination, the patient believed their parents were killed some time ago, and impostors were replacing them; laboratory tests showed tetrahydrocannabinol in the urine sample. Therefore, the diagnosis of Capgras syndrome due to cannabis consumption was performed, and treatment was established with two antipsychotics and one mood stabilizer drug, showing satisfactory results after two months.
卡普格拉综合征是妄想性错认综合征的一部分。在这种情况下，患者认为长相相同的人冒充了他们身边亲近的人，从而导致对其亲属的攻击甚至谋杀。以下文章描述了一名28岁有吸食大麻史的患者的病例，该患者因对邻居的谋杀未遂而被送往急诊科。在精神检查中，患者认为他们的父母前段时间被杀，冒名顶替者取代了他们；实验室检查显示尿液样本中含有四氢大麻酚。因此，做出了因吸食大麻导致卡普格拉综合征的诊断，并使用两种抗精神病药物和一种情绪稳定剂进行治疗，两个月后取得了满意的效果。
