title: [Neuropsychological findings in a case of simulation].
abstract: The case of a malingerer is reported with special emphasis on the neuropsychological findings. The diagnosis of malingering is a challenge to medicine, and neuropsychology can come to be an efficient instrument, once greater experience is achieved, and the results can be systematized and generalized. Nevertheless, it must be kept in mind that the manifestations are specially subject to sociocultural, geographic and temporal factors.
