[Twilight consciousness disorder caused by overdose of indomethacin].

A case pertaining to legal psychiatric practice is described: the development of dusk clouding of consciousness in a patient with chronic alcoholism after the intake of indomethacin in high doses, foregoing insomnia and episodic alcohol abuse. Possible casuistry of the case forms no basis for ignoring the fact that in legal psychiatry, analogous episodes because of the intake of the high doses of certain drugs including indomethacin may be repeated.
