{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The objective of this study is to analyse the coexistence of several delusional misidentification syndromes in a clinical sample.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Over one year, a sample of six patients presenting two or more types of delusional misidentification syndromes was selected. All these patients were admitted to the psychiatric inpatient unit of a Spanish hospital.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Despite the different diagnoses, the patients included presented different types of delusional misidentification syndromes, both hyperidentification and hypoidentification. Antipsychotic treatment was not very effective against these delusional misidentification syndromes.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The coexistence of several delusional misidentification syndromes indicates that the aetiopathogenesis of the different types is similar. It is a field with important clinical implications, due to the poor response to treatment, as well as the possible medico-legal implications.
