title: Folie a deux: a case report.
abstract: Folie a deux, to date, remains a rare, yet a challenging psychiatric diagnosis. We discuss two cases that were identified in our out-patient clinics. One case was lost to follow up, while the other one showed improvement over time with appropriate management.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As with any rare disorder, recognition and correct referral for rare diagnosis like folie a deux is of paramount importance.
