Misidentification delusions, facial misrecognition, and right brain injury.

Individuals suffering from misidentification syndromes may present with right hemispheric pathology and deficits in facial recognition. In addition, misidentification delusions have been associated with aggressive behaviour. The possible linkage between misidentification phenomena, facial recognition, and aggression is discussed, illustrated by the case of a patient suffering from an organic delusional disorder.

Delusional misidentification and dangerousness: a neurobiologic hypothesis.

Delusional misidentification syndromes have intrigued this century's psychiatric researchers. More recently, the dangerousness posed by individuals suffering from these syndromes has been a subject of scientific inquiry. A series of five individuals suffering from delusional misidentification syndromes was studied from a phenomenologic and neuropsychologic perspective. Using this information, a hypothesis involving the psychobiological contributions to the dangerousness of delusional misidentification can be generated. This may further our understanding of the dangerousness posed by psychotic individuals.

Evolving misidentification syndromes and facial recognition deficits.

In this paper, the authors report the case of a 33 year old man with several misidentification delusions involving the self. Evidence suggests that one type of misidentification delusion may evolve into another type. Neuropsychological testing further suggests that misidentification delusions may be associated with subtle abnormalities in facial recognition abilities and with non dominant cerebral compromise.
