血管型痴呆症合併Capgras' 症候群:一個案報告

摘要


Capgras'症候群為患者認為某熟悉的人被別人取代了。此症候群出現在各類的神經或精神疾病中。過去文獻曾有數例癡呆症合併Capgras'症候群的報告,但都是屬阿滋海默氏型癡呆症(Dementia of the Alzheimer type)。本文報告一初期血管型癡呆症(Vascular Dementia)合併Capgras'症候群,並因此症而有被害妄想及對配偶的暴力行為而入院。由此個案可見Capgras'症候群可發生在不同種類的癡呆症且診斷Capgras'症候群老年病患應考慮是否為早期的癡呆症。此外,患者若有Capgras'症候群當預防其暴力行為,能早期發現及治療此症候群可避免暴力的產生及患者的住院。

Capgras' syndrome is characterized by a subjective certainty that a familiar person has been replaced by an identical double. This syndrome has been observed in psychiatric and neurological diseases, and has been reported in several cases of dementia of the Alzheimer type. Here, we present a patient with vascular dementia in whom Capgras' syndrome developed in the early stages of dementia, and who exhibited violence. This case suggests that Capgras' syndrome can occur in vascular dementia. In older patients with this syndrome, dementia should also be considered in its differential diagnosis. In addition, patients with Capgras' syndrome should be evaluated for violent potential.
