Tic Exacerbation in Adults with Tourette Syndrome: A Case Series
BACKGROUND Tourette syndrome (TS) has been described as peaking in adolescence with subsequent regression. We report patients who were diagnosed with TS during childhood who experienced a latent period (significant reduction in or absence of tics) followed by tic re-emergence in adulthood. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of outpatients over age 21 seen at the Yale neurology ...
متن کاملInterhemispheric connectivity and executive functioning in adults with Tourette syndrome.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is relatively smaller, and the corpus callosum (CC) larger, in adults with Tourette syndrome (TS). The authors explored the possible roles of the PFC and the CC in mediating interhemispheric interference and coordination in TS adults. They measured performance on M. Kinsbourne and J.

Medications for tics are often effective but can cause adverse effects. Behavior therapy may offer an alternative but has not been examined in a large-scale controlled trial in adults. OBJECTIVE To test the effica...
