Abstract
The delusional misidentification syndrome (DMS) has been associated wi th a range of neurological conditions. Three cases of DMS in patients with Parkinson's disease and dementia, treated with dopaminergic medic ations, are presented. It is postulated that DA IS associated with par kinsonism results from a combination of dopaminergic psychosis and cog nitive dysfunction involving the frontal lobe in particular DMS in the setting of parkinsonism may be move frequent than commonly supposed.
