Distinguishing and Managing Acute-Onset Complex Tic-like Behaviors in Adolescence. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Consistent with international reports,1 this group of Tourette syndrome (TS) experts has noticed a recent increase in adolescents presenting with tic-like symptoms that show a markedly atypical onset and course. These sudden-onset motor movements and vocalizations are often associated with significant impairment and disability, resulting in emergency department visits and hospitalizations for some affected youths.
