}A striking behavioral abnormality is described in three individuals who had had severe head trauma. At a point when general mnestic capabilities had returned to a near normal level, the patients persistently relocated the hospital at another geographical site, even in the face of compelling counter-evidence. The strong parallels in the etiology and course of the three cases justify the positing of a syndrome, here termed reduplicative paramnesia. A neuropsychologic analysis of the disorder…

Electrophysiological and neuroimaging findings converged with those obtained from extensive neuropsychological testing to identify neuropathology primarily of the right frontal-temporal-parietal region associated with a grade IV astrocytoma in a case of RP that involved strong adherence to a belief in duplication/relocation of a familiar place.
Postoperative reduplicative paramnesia in a patient with a right frontotemporal lesion

A 73‐year‐old woman who developed reduplication of people and places 3 months after the surgical removal of a large right frontotemporal meningioma is reported, suggesting that a right hemispheric lesion is the essential neuroanatomical substrate in the development of RP.

The case is described within the context of preexisting theories of RP, and it is surmised that the delusion is secondary to temporal-limbic-frontal dysfunction giving rise to a distorted sense of familiarity and impaired ability to resolve the delusion via reasoning.

Although DMS is associated with a pattern of neuropsychologic impairments in the domains of memory, perception, and executive function, these impairments alone do not account for the selectivity and delusional nature of DMS.

This report describes a male patient with temporal lobe epilepsy who developed a persistent paranoid-hallucinatory state at the age of 23, and attempted to explain the pathophysiological mechanism of the patient's paramnesia in the framework of the current neurobiological theory of human memory.

Patients with Korsakoff's disease do very poorly in remembering recent events but improve to normal levels when memories become more remote, which confirms classical clinical observation and raises some important points about the mechanism of memory.
