TL;DR
Delusional misidentification of people otherwise well known, referred to as the Capgras syndrome, has been described in both functional and organic conditions.
Abstract
Delusional misidentification of people otherwise well known, referred to as the Capgras syndrome, has been described in both functional and organic conditions. Evidence is accruing to suggest that it would always be prudent to search vigorously for an organic aetiology.

Neuropsychologic and neuroradiologic data in a patient recovering from a severe head injury revealed this combination, suggesting that the Capgras syndrome may be a form of reduplicative paramnesia with the same pathologic substrate.

A patient developed Capgras' syndrome as part of an interictal psychosis of epilepsy; magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral subcortical lesions in occipitotemporal and frontal regions, which have implications for the postulated association between CapgrAs' syndrome and neuropsychological deficits, in particular prosopagnosia.
