title: [Current thoughts apropos of delusional disorders].
abstract: In the 1890's Valentin Magnan established the concept of acute "bouffée délirante". Ten years ago, a majority of french psychiatrists still wished to distinguish it from schizophrenia. A recent clinical case gave us the opportunity to reactualize what we know about the historical evolution of the concept, the contradictions regarding the prognostic, the psychopathological hypothesis and the changes in our therapeutic means.
