The Clinical Problem Tourette's syndrome (sometimes called Tourette's disorder) is a childhood-onset condition characterized by motor and vocal tics that are chronic (duration of >1 year). The standard diagnostic criteria for Tourette's syndrome are listed in Table 1Table 1 Diagnostic Criteria for Tourette's Syndrome..1 Motor tics include simple tics such as twitching, eye blinking, facial grimacing, or head jerking; slow twisting movements (dystonic tics); isometric contractions (tonic tics) such as tensing of the abdominal muscles; and more complicated, purposeful-looking movements (complex motor tics) such as touching or tapping. Vocal tics (also called phonic tics) include inarticulate noises such as throat clearing, sniffing, or coughing (simple vocal tics) and words or partial words (complex vocal tics). Because of the nature of tics, children are often referred to ophthalmologists or allergists before they receive the proper diagnosis of tics. Virtually any movement or sound that the human body is capable of making can be a manifestation of a tic. The most notorious tic of Tourette's syndrome, obscene or insulting utterances (coprolalia), occurs in less than 50% of cases in reported series.
