Tourette’s Syndrome
A neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent involuntary tics involving body movements (as eye blinks or grimaces) and vocalizations (as grunts or utterance of inappropriate words), often has one or more associated conditions (as obsessive-compulsive disorder), is more common in males than females, and usually has an onset in childhood. It often, but not always, stabilizes or ameliorates in adulthood.
