[Cotard's syndrome in chronic schizophrenia].
A middle-aged woman who developed Cotard's syndrome after suffering from chronic schizophrenia is described. She had the delusion of negation believing that she had no possessions, but also her lung, heart, and intestines were gone. She also considered herself immortal. Medication was not useful in removing her delusions of negation and immortality.
