Abstract

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.
