Abstract
Three cases of a misidentification syndrome are presented. In this syndrome, which may be Capgras' or a new syndrome that we refer to as delusional gross replacement of inanimate objects, patients believe that their new possessions are replaced by inferior copies of the original objects by identified individuals. The patients believe that these individuals want to enhance themselves at the patients' expense, and feel persecuted by them.
