La sindrome di Gilles de la Tourette. Caso clinico

Tourette’s syndrome (TS) consist of both multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics which can be present in the same or in different periods of time during the disease. These tics appear several times a day, in a recurrent way, for more than one year during which there isn’t any free period which lasts for more than three months. Tics determine a severe social damage or affects other important areas of the subject’s functioning. It is a multifactorial pathology with a difficult and polymorphous clinical picture and this is the reason of a multidisciplinary approach to the patients. The case of P. is a clear example of the different elements and aspects which characterize this syndrome.
