Abstract
A case is reported of Capgras syndrome arising as the major symptomatologic manifestation of a postpartum psychosis. Other diagnostic investigations have called into question the most recent etiopathogenetic interpretations which preclude the concomitant existence of an organic disorder, previously held to be a precondition for the development of Capgras syndrome.
