[Clerambault syndrome in an elderly woman].
Prompt diagnosis of the uncommon Clerambault syndrome is important. We describe a 62-year-old woman with this disorder who developed a delusional conviction that a 65-year-old male physician was very much in love with her. She was treated by her family physician with perphenazine and psychotherapy. Her mental status improved and her delusion about the physician ceased.
