Capgras' syndrome and cerebral dysfunction.

Abstract

Two cases of Capgras' syndrome in association with coarse brain disease are presented. The authors suggest that prosopagnosia (face nonrecognition) may be the primary expression of a specific cerebral dysfunction which forms the basis for a delusional elaboration resulting in Capgras' syndrome.
