Abstract: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus can manifest as personality changes
and psychosis. We report an 87-year-old right-handed male presenting with both
Capgras syndrome and severe unilateral spatial neglect during nonconvulsive
status epilepticus. After treatment of his seizures, his Capgras syndrome and
hemispatial neglect resolved. This case illustrates a report of the confluence
of Capgras syndrome and documented hemispatial neglect in nonconvulsive status
epilepticus only reported once previously [1].
