Management of Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome with Co-Morbid Obsessive Compulsive Disorder At A Tertiary Hospital in South West, Nigeria: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 08
Abstract
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics occuring over a period of more than a year and usually running a chronic course.[1] Tics are neuropsychiatric conditions characterized by brief rapid non-rhythmic motor movements or vocalizations that are typically performed in response to irrestitible premonitory urges. Although frequently rapid, tics may involve more complex patterns of movements and longer vocalizations. Evidence from many lines of research suggests that tics result from abnormalities in the basal ganglia of the brain, especially those involving dopamine transmission in the cortico-striatothalamic pathway
