Abstract
Capgras syndrome is a psychotic illness characterized by an unshaken false belief in having a close family member replaced by an imposter when there is no evidence of such. The patient described in this case report is a 68-year-old Caucasian female who presented with Capgras syndrome in the context of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) following an acute COVID-19 illness. She was treated with quetiapine with full resolution of symptoms.
