A classification system for misidentification syndromes.
Misidentification syndromes have traditionally relied upon the patient's delusional explanation for their classification. Using 2 cases for illustration, a more systematic classification is proposed for misidentification syndromes. The revised nomenclature has potential use in future research of misidentification syndromes.
