  • Title: Folie simultanée in monozygotic twins.
    Author: White TG.
    Journal: Can J Psychiatry; 1995 Sep; 40(7):418-20. PubMed ID: 8548723.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To present a case report of folie simultanée in monozygotic twins. The literature describing folie à deux in twins is also reviewed and the common clinical findings are presented. METHOD: Case presentation and review of the literature. RESULTS: Clinical observations of monozygotic twins with folie simultanée suggest that the delusions tend to progress over time with each twin reinforcing the delusion in the second. CONCLUSIONS: The concept of a delusion resonating between individuals may account for the rapid progression and escalation of these delusions.
