Abstract
Capgras Syndrome (CS) is a delusional disorder, one of the Delusional Misidentification Syndromes (DMSs), in which the patient believes that an ?imposter? has taken the place of one of their loved ones. This, at instances, results in violence and aggression towards the supposed imposter. In this paper, the aim is to see to it that the syndrome receives the attention that it deserves and that the most recent advances in the research related to the syndrome are illustrated in a concise manner.
