Fregoli syndrome is the delusional belief that one or more familiar persons, usually persecutors following the patient, repeatedly change their appearance. This syndrome has often been discussed as a variant of the Capgras syndrome in the literature, but these two syndromes have different phenomenological structures and age and sex distributions. The author presents a review of 34 cases of Fregoli syndrome in the English and French language literature, discussing the syndrome's definition…

Coexistence of Capgras and Frégoli syndromes in a single patient. Clinical, neuroimaging and neuropsychological findings
A patient with the Fregoli syndrome: a case report and discussion of the relevant literature
TLDR
A case report of Fregoli syndrome is described and the relevant literature is discussed, showing a growing body of evidence that delusional misidentification syndromes, including F Regoli syndrome, have identifiable brain lesions largely related to the right hemisphere.
Delusional Misidentification Syndromes: Untangling Clinical Quandary With the Newer Evidence-Based Approaches
TLDR
Since DMS are reported in both early-onset psychosis and neurodegenerative conditions, the strategies to address and mitigate underlying etiology warrant a thorough assessment and individualized treatment planning.
Some Unusual Neuropsychological Syndromes : Somatoparaphrenia , Akinetopsia ,
TLDR
Regardless of their rarity, it is fundamental to take them into consideration in order to understand how the brain organizes cognition; their understanding is also crucial in the clinical analysis of patients with brain pathologies.
Frégoli syndrome accompanied with prosopagnosia in a woman with a 40-year history of schizophrenia.
TLDR
A 68-year-old woman with schizophrenia after a cerebrovascular accident resulting in right medial temporal and occipital damage developed Frégoli syndrome, which disappeared in three month when her prosopagnosia also disappeared.

Low-Dose Clozapine for an Adolescent with TBI-Related Fregoli Delusions
TLDR
An adolescent with TBI that later on developed Fregoli delusions had supersensitivity to multiple antipsychotic trials with no response at all and when shifted to low-dose clozapine, delusions entirely remitted with great tolerability.
Eponyms in Psychiatry
Several types of terms are used in the nomenclature of psychiatric disorders. Eponyms, one such type, have been reviewed. Table 1 lists selected eponyms in psychiatry [1-53]. One can find several…
Schizophrenia and monothematic delusions.
TLDR
It is proposed that the 2-factor account of particular delusions like Capgras and Cotard still applies even when these delusions occur in the context of schizophrenia rather than occurring in isolation.
Identifying Misidentifications:A Phenomenol ogical Study
TLDR
It is argued that the restrictive nature of the currently dominant D MSs classification may have led to the neglect of a wide range of misidentification phenomena which do not fit the descriptions of any one of the classic DMSs.

Neuropsychological findings relating to Capgras syndrome.
TLDR
The results demonstrate that the Capgras delusion involves more than an inability to recognize faces, although this deficit is one manifestation of the disorder.
Anterior cortical atrophy in Fregoli syndrome.
TLDR
Patients with Fregoli syndrome showed more frontal and temporal lobe atrophy than controls and may be associated with dysfunction of these areas, according to computed tomography scans.
Dangerous Delusions
TLDR
Four patients described who were either perpetrators or victims of assaults as a consequence of the syndromes of Frégoli, Intermetamorphosis, Subjective Doubles and Capgras illustrate the multiplicity of factors which have to be taken into consideration in order to predict whether an individual will act in a violent manner on these delusions.
Course and prognosis of the syndrome of doubles.
The course and prognosis of 20 patients with the syndrome of doubles (syndrome of Capgras, syndrome of Fregoli, syndrome of intermetamorphosis, syndrome of subjective doubles) were studied. The onset…
