Abstract

Since the historical contribution of Capgras and Reboul-Lachaux, several researchers began exploring various dimensions of the fascinating phenomena of delusional misidentification syndromes. Recently, Mulholland and O'Hara have reported a new variant of delusional misidentification syndromes named 'delusional hermaphroditism'. In this study, we report another case of this rare entity.
