Abstract in brief

  • De Clerambaults syndrome, also known as erotomania, is a rare delusional disorder where a person believes someone of higher social status is in love with them, and it is rarely documented in older adults.
  • Most research on erotomania in dementia consists of case reports and small studies, highlighting that misinterpretation of events is common in brain disorders, but erotomania itself is rarely reported in dementia patients.
  • The connection between dementia and de Clerambaults syndrome is unclear, and any late-life erotomanic delusions should be carefully examined to rule out underlying organic causes.
