P 36 Structural and functional imaging findings in somatoparaphrenia

With regard to somatosensory delusion, neglect or deficits of body integrity a great number of overlapping pathophysiological concepts exist. Moreover, the range of assumed underlying psychiatric and neurologic syndromes only partially is thought to be related to even diverse neuroanatomical structures so far: Alien Hand Syndrome, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), Depersonalization, Somatoparaphrenia and Xenomelia. Specific deafferentiation within temporal regions, the insula or representational structures of the somatosensory cortex of the right parietal lobe is thought to be related only in some variants.
