ObjectiveTo explore Michael Kohlhaas syndrome and development of litigious paranoia.Case reportA 50-year-old Swiss woman spent a number of weeks travelling around the UK, reporting to police that her family in Switzerland were working with their police, doctors and the mafia to kill her. She was therefore running away for her own safety, and trying to seek legal help to investigate. She had been in close contact with a woman in London who claimed to be able to give her legal aid in exchange for payment. On admission to the ward, it was felt that the legal aid was actually feeding her persecutory delusions.DiscussionWe discovered that she had in fact been detained in Switzerland prior to coming to the UK, and the discharge report was obtained which diagnosed her with Michael Kohlhaas syndrome and Folie a deux.ConclusionThis poster will further explore Michael Kohlhaas syndrome and litigious paranoia, with connection to this case.

Folie A Deux

BACKGROUND: Shared psychotic disorder was first introduced in the 19th century in France with the name Folie à deux. Since then, the concept of Folie à deux has been developed and produces several subtypes in France. In DSM, this disorder is called Shared Psychotic Disorder, and in ICD-10, it is called Induced Delusional Disorder. However, some of the classic subtypes of Folie à deux are not included in the above categories. CASE REPORT: We found a case of shared psychotic disorder between a 38-year-old male inducer, a Batak tribe with two female recipients, 34 and 36 years from the Batak tribe. They were found to share the same delusions and hallucinations, and inducers could make recipients into trance conditions. These three individuals did not get along with the surrounding community and often carried out activities and perform rituals together. CONCLUSION: Overall, our case has some unique features of folie à deux. In this case, there is a trance condition that can be induced that have not been reported in the literature or case reports related to Folie à deux.

Folie A Deux

We report a case of two brothers suffering the same paranoia psychosis. The older one presented an altered consciousness and needed hospitalization. During hospitalization, he was considered as having lead chronic intoxication. The lead serum level was 65 ug/dl (N:<30 ug/dl) and the lead hair was 25 pg/gr-tiss (N:<10 pg/gr-tiss). He also presented clinically with encephalopathy, disorder of the autonomic dysfunction. He leaded his body for eleven years because of delutional ideas, and induced these ideas and behavior to his brother (folie a deux). The coincidence between these disorders in extremely rare so we believe this case report is of clinical interesting.
