A Rare Case of Capgras Syndrome in Moyamoya Disease.

Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disorder with unknown etiology and psychiatric symptoms occasionally manifest initially. Capgras syndrome is a unique neuropsychiatric symptom that is a delusional misidentification of a familiar person replaced by an identical imposter. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman with frontal lobe ischemic stroke caused by moyamoya disease, presenting with Capgras syndrome. Dysfunction of frontal areas may be attributable to development of Capgras syndrome.
