Concurrent Schizophrenia-Like Psychosis in Monozygous Twins Suffering from CNS Disorder

ALBERT WEST M.B., Ch.B., M.R.C.Psych.1

1 Consultant Psychiatrist, St. Crispin Hospital, Duston, Northampton, NN5 6UN

A case report is presented in which a pair of 24-year-old monozygous twins who suffer from a basal ganglia disorder developed within a few hours of each other a schizophrenia-like psychosis. It is possible that psychological stress may have disturbed an already impaired neurophysiology, thus producing the factors necessary for the psychosis to occur.
