Delusional misidentification syndromes (DMS) are a relatively common group of disorders in clinical psychiatry, although the symptom known as Reduplicative Paramnesia (RP) has been, in most cases, attributed to organic (brain- related) causes. The case of a patient with diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia who developed RP is presented: he reported having two identical homes, one real and one false, the latter a copy of the former, but in which he could not breathe because of lack of air. A brief review of the literature revealed progress in the neurobiological explanation of RP, particularly related to evidences of organic cerebral pathology; nevertheless, a number of questions remain, requiring a more comprehensive conception of this symptom as a psychotic manifestation of schizophrenia.
