“…It was first described as folie à deux by Lasegue and Falret in 1877 (Joshi, Frierson, & Gunter, 2006). In the literature, folie à deux is described typically in case reports (Adler & Magruder, 1946; Florez & Gomez-Romero, 2001; Gant & Brown, 2001; Joshi et al, 2006; Oatman, 1947; Petrikis, Andreou, Karavatos, & Garyfallos, 2003; Reif & Pfuhlmann, 2004; Shiwach & Sobin, 1998), so definite prevalence rates are lacking.

Presentamos aquí el caso de dos hermanas gemelas dicigóticas de 27 años a las que su padre, su hermana y su médico general trajeron al servicio de urgencias psiquiátricas de Orense.Ambas estaban conscientes y se mostraron colaboradoras. Una de ellas exponía el relato, interrumpiéndolo la otra en numerosas ocasiones. Se vio en ambas un habla coherente y prolija con términos técnicos pedagógicos muy abundantes, pues ambas habían obtenido el título de magisterio, y algunos amaneramientos.De vez en cuando las dos hablaban al mismo tiempo utilizando las mismas palabras (como si lo hubieran practicado). Otras veces durante el relato hablaban en singular como si fueran una única persona.
