Abstract
Capgras syndrome is a rare psychiatric disorder with colorful symptoms, fi rstly described by Capgras and Reboul- Lachaux in 1923. The person believes that the identities of close relatives or friends are not real but are replaced by others. In the literature a holistic etiological explanation is lacking and both biological and psychological factors are thought to play role in the occurrence of the disorder. Although there are no systematic studies regarding the treatment, antipsychotics are frequently preferred due to relative improvements in psychotic symptoms. In this case report, we aimed to present and discuss the treatment of an adolescent with somatic delusions and Capgras Syndrome, who admitted to emergency department with symptoms of aggression and thoughts about his parents not being his own parents.
