Folie A Deux

IntroductionThe first reference to the shared delusions emerged in France in the nineteenth century. Shared delusions can be classified in three frames with different nosological value: simultaneous folie à deux, imposed folie à deux and communicated folie à deux.ObjectivesA review of the structures of presentation of this psychiatric disorder through a case report and checking the categorization of the classic folie à deux in the current diagnostic manuals.MethodsDiscussion through a case report of delusional disorder among twins. After several interviews with the patients we found that both have a complex delusional system, structured and bizarre at the same time. There was a clearly paranoid tinge in the narration which main theme is religion.ResultsDelusional clinical appears identically and simultaneously in both subjects with equal readiness and doesn’t give up after the admission of the patients in two different psychiatric hospitalization units.ConclusionsIn the ICD-10 and DSM-5, diagnostics would be different depending on the kind of folie à deux. In simultaneous folie à deux and communicated folie à deux the dominant partner would receive a diagnosis of delusional disorder with ICD-10 and DSM-5. The acceptor partner would receive a diagnosis of delusional disorder induced with the ICD-10 and a diagnosis of unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder with the DSM-5. In a simultaneous folie à deux, both subjects would have a diagnosis of delusional disorder in both manuals. We think that this is the right choice.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Sobre Todo

El Trastorno psicótico compartico (DSM-5) o Trastorno por ideas delirantes inducido (CIE-10), tradicionalmente conocido como “folie à deux” es una patología rara, probablemete infradiagnosticada debido al grave aislamiento social y falta de conciencia de enfermedad que caracteriza a estos pacientes. Se han publicado algunos casos clínicos y revisiones sobre este trastorno, mostrando que la mayoría de relaciones se establecen en el núcleo familiar, sobre todo entre parejas. Hay pocos casos documentados que se presenten en un paciente inducido menor de edad. Se describe un caso clínico de una díada madre-hijo menor de edad, seguida de una breve discusión basada en la literatura.

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 à famille is a rare variant of the folie à deux situation. A family history is presented which demonstrates both folie communiquée and folie imposée, two of the four subgroups summarized by Gralnick (1942) from the 19th century literature. The fact that mere separation of affected persons may be inadequate is emphasized.

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.
