Tourette's syndrome is a brain condition that causes involuntary vocal and motor tics. Vocal tics include sounds like throat clearing or animal noises, while motor tics involve movements of the eyes, tongue, head or other body parts. It is thought to have a genetic cause and may be linked to issues during pregnancy like lack of oxygen or stress. Doctors diagnose Tourette's based on symptoms and medical history, and treatment focuses on managing tics through medication or other methods.

Tourette syndrome
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary vocal and motor tics. Common tics include eye blinking, throat clearing, and limb or head movements. TS is diagnosed when both motor and vocal tics are present for at least one year. While sometimes inherited, the exact causes are unknown. Treatment may include medications and behavioral therapies to help manage symptoms. Educators are encouraged to accommodate students with TS by allowing for movement breaks, testing in separate rooms, and teaching acceptance to combat social isolation. Understanding and support from family, teachers, and the community can help those with TS lead productive lives.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Common motor tics include eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, and limb movements. Vocal tics can include sounds like throat clearing or complex tics like uttering words or phrases. The cause is unknown but may involve abnormalities in certain brain regions and neurotransmitters. While tics can sometimes be suppressed temporarily, they often reappear and can be accompanied by conditions like OCD or ADHD. There is no cure, but treatment options include medications and counseling.
Tourette's Syndrome PowerPoint
This document provides information about Tourette syndrome from a children's newsletter. It describes the characteristics of Tourette's such as vocal and motor tics. It discusses simple and complex tics as well as serious tics involving inappropriate words. It also outlines co-occurring conditions, possible causes, prevalence, diagnosis, treatment options, and accommodations that can help children with Tourette's in the classroom.
Tourette's Syndrome
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological
disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and
vocalizations called tics. The disorder is named for Dr. Georges Gilles de la
Tourette, the pioneering French neurologist who in 1885 first described the
condition in an 86-year-old French noblewoman.
The early symptoms of TS are typically
noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 3 and 9
years. TS occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about
three to four times more often than females. It is estimated that 200,000
Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit
milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal tics. Although
TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people
with the condition experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens,
with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into adulthood.
The Development of Tourette syndrome in children
This document discusses Tourette syndrome, which is a disorder involving both vocal and motor tics that typically begins in childhood between ages 6-8. It affects boys more than girls and often disappears with age. While the cause is unknown, genetics may play a role. Many children with Tourette syndrome also have conditions like ADHD or OCD. The document reviews several studies on treatments for Tourette syndrome in children like topiramate, though more research is still needed.
Tics and tourette’s syndrome
Tics are sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that involve discrete muscle groups. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics which begin in childhood and are often linked to conditions like ADD and OCD. While there is no cure, tics typically improve after adolescence. Treatment options include medications, behavioral therapies, and supportive counseling to help manage symptoms and their social impact.

Tourettes disorder
Tourette's disorder is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary, rapid, and repetitive motor and vocal tics. It was first described in 1885 by George Gilles de la Tourette based on observations of patients exhibiting motor and vocal tics as well as coprolalia, palilalia, and echolalia. The lifetime prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 100 people, with onset typically around age 7. Co-occurrence of conditions like ADHD and OCD is also common. While the exact causes are unknown, genetic factors and abnormalities in dopamine transmission in the brain are thought to play a role. Treatment may involve behavioral therapy and medication to manage symptoms.
Top 10 Things About Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics with onset in childhood. TS symptoms vary widely between individuals and include both physical and verbal tics. Tics can be exacerbated by stress and anxiety. Additionally, most people with TS also have comorbid conditions like OCD and ADHD that further complicate their symptoms and ability to function. Providing accommodations and support through IEPs/504 plans is important to help students with TS access education and manage their symptoms. Educating all school staff on TS is also key to creating an accepting environment and avoiding misunderstandings.

Tourettes
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary tics and vocalizations. The cause involves the abnormal metabolism of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. In 1825, the first case was described involving involuntary movements and vocalizations. TS onset is typically before age 18 and symptoms fluctuate over time. While there is no cure, medication and other therapies can help manage symptoms when they interfere with functioning. Genetic studies show TS is inherited as a dominant gene with varying expression in family members.
Tourette syndrome & other tic disorders
Tourette syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics that begin in childhood. It is caused by abnormalities in brain circuits involving the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus. Treatment involves psychoeducation, pharmacotherapy using dopamine antagonists, behavior therapy such as habit reversal training, and treatment of common comorbidities like OCD and ADHD. While there is no cure for tics, treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Tourettes Review
The document summarizes age-related changes in Tourette syndrome. It describes how the syndrome is characterized by motor and vocal tics that typically begin in childhood between 6-7 years of age and worsen during the teen years. For most people, tic severity lessens as they reach adulthood, though a small percentage continue to experience tics into adulthood. The document also outlines diagnostic criteria and treatments, though there is no known cure currently.
Tourette's syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics. While the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to involve abnormalities in certain brain regions and there is a genetic component. The signs and symptoms usually first appear in children before age 18, most often between ages 5-7, with tics occurring in the head or neck area and ranging from simple to complex movements or vocalizations. There is no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but symptoms typically improve in late adolescence or early adulthood, and medication or therapy can help minimize tics.
Tourettes
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It is caused by changes in brain chemicals like dopamine. While genes may play a role, the condition is not fully hereditary. Tourette's commonly begins in childhood and improves in late teens/early adulthood, though it is generally lifelong. Treatment focuses on managing severe symptoms through medications that block dopamine receptors or other drugs, as most cases do not require medication.
Tic disorder by Dr. Keerat
This document provides an overview of tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome. It discusses the history, classification, epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, comorbid psychiatric disorders, and treatment of tic disorders. Some key points include:
- Tic disorders are involuntary movements or vocalizations that can be either simple or complex. Tourette syndrome involves both motor and vocal tics.
- Risk factors include genetic predisposition and environmental triggers like infections. Involvement of the cortico-striato-thalamic circuits in the brain is also implicated.
- Prevalence of tic disorders ranges from 2-4% for transient tics to 1% for Tourette syndrome. Males are affected more commonly

Huntington
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, especially in the basal ganglia. It affects movement, cognition, and psychiatric functions and is caused by a defective gene inherited from a parent. Symptoms typically appear between ages 30-50 and include involuntary movements, cognitive decline, and psychiatric issues like depression. While there is no cure, treatment aims to reduce symptoms and complications through medications, speech/occupational/physical therapy, and supportive care.
Porphyria
This 3 paragraph summary provides an overview of porphyria:
Porphyria is a rare blood disorder that affects the nervous system and can cause abdominal pain, hallucinations, and liver damage. It occurs from a buildup of dysfunctional molecules called porphyrins in the bloodstream. Historically, some of the earliest known cases date back to the late 18th century. Currently, there is no cure for porphyria but treatments exist to manage symptoms and prevent worsening of the condition. The disease was proposed as a potential explanation for legends about vampires and werewolves due to similarities between porphyria symptoms and folklore descriptions.
Prion diseases ---kuru
- Prion diseases are rapidly progressive dementias caused by infectious proteins called prions. They include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS), fatal familial insomnia (FFI), and kuru.
- Prion diseases occur sporadically in 85% of cases, are inherited in 15% of cases, and are infectious in less than 1% of cases. They result from the accumulation of abnormal prion protein (PrPsc) which differs from its normal cellular form (PrPc).
- Clinically, prion diseases present with dementia, myoclonus, and death usually within a year
Lyme disease
1) The patient, a 41-year-old male, has been feeling drunk and unable to walk properly or think clearly for several weeks.
2) Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks.
3) The presentation of symptoms depends on the stage of infection, ranging from a bullseye rash in the early localized stage to neurological or heart problems in later disseminated stages.

Seminar on cns tubercuosis by Dr.Pradeep Singh
This document discusses central nervous system tuberculosis. It begins by introducing tuberculosis and its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It then classifies and describes the different forms of neurotuberculosis, including tuberculous meningitis, tuberculomas, and Pott's disease. The document outlines the pathology, signs and symptoms, investigations, diagnostic criteria and staging of tuberculous meningitis. It discusses the recommended treatment regimens and adjunctive steroid therapy. It also briefly touches on spinal tuberculosis, tuberculosis in HIV patients, anti-tuberculosis drugs, and the role of surgery in some cases of CNS tuberculosis.
Tuberculous meningitis
Tuberculous meningitis is inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It typically develops secondary to a pulmonary tuberculosis infection. Symptoms progress through three stages - an initial prodromal stage with nonspecific symptoms, followed by signs of meningeal irritation and cranial nerve palsies, and finally a terminal stage with coma and death if untreated. Diagnosis involves lumbar puncture showing lymphocytic pleocytosis and decreased glucose. Treatment consists of a combination of antitubercular drugs for 12 months along with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and complications. Prognosis depends on the stage of disease at treatment initiation, with mortality rates as high as 50%
Tubercular meningitis
This document discusses neurotuberculosis, specifically tuberculous meningitis. It begins by classifying neurotuberculosis and describing the pathogenesis of tuberculous meningitis. It then covers the clinical features and stages of tuberculous meningitis, diagnostic criteria, complications, management including treatment with antitubercular drugs and corticosteroids, and differential diagnosis. Imaging and diagnostic tests for tuberculous meningitis like CSF analysis are also summarized.
Huntingtons disease
The document provides information about Huntington's disease (HD), including:
1) HD is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HD gene, and is characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms.
2) The disease primarily involves degeneration of the basal ganglia, especially the caudate and putamen nuclei.
3) Symptoms typically begin in mid-life and include chorea, dystonia, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric issues. There is currently no cure for HD.
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. It is caused by a lack of hypocretin, a chemical that regulates sleep and wakefulness. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness, cataplexy (loss of muscle control triggered by emotions), sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and automatic behaviors. It is diagnosed through polysomnograms and multiple sleep latency tests. While there is no cure, symptoms can be managed through stimulant medications, antidepressants, and lifestyle changes like scheduled napping. Living with narcolepsy presents daily challenges like disrupted sleep, impaired functioning, and social isolation.
Tb Meningitis
A 70-year-old male presented with a 5-year history of intermittent fever and a more recent 2-week history of behavioral changes and severe headaches. Imaging showed evidence of basilar meningitis and hydrocephalus. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis found lymphocytic pleocytosis with low glucose and high protein, consistent with tuberculous meningitis. The patient was started on empiric anti-tuberculosis treatment given the clinical suspicion while further diagnostic tests were pending. Tuberculous meningitis requires a prolonged multi-drug treatment regimen to reduce the risk of complications like hydrocephalus, infarctions, and neurological deficits.
Sleep Disorders
This document provides a summary of a presentation on sleep disorders organized into three main sections: physiology of normal sleep, disordered sleep, and sleep studies. It describes the stages and cycles of normal sleep including NREM and REM sleep. It discusses several common sleep disorders like insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, and parasomnias. It also covers sleep disturbances related to medical, neurological and psychiatric conditions. Finally, it provides an overview of polysomnography and its clinical applications in diagnosing and managing various sleep disorders.
Tuberculous meningitis
This document discusses tuberculous meningitis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infecting the meninges and brain. India has a high burden of tuberculosis cases, with around 10% of TB patients developing central nervous system involvement like tuberculous meningitis. Risk factors include delays in diagnosis and treatment as well as immunocompromised states. Clinically, patients initially experience headaches, vomiting and fever, progressing to altered mental status. Diagnosis involves lumbar puncture showing lymphocytic predominant meningitis as well as imaging and culture of cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment involves a combination of anti-tuberculosis drugs administered for 9-12 months.

In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for Tourette syndrome to provide a better understanding of this complex condition.Abnormal.docx
This document provides an overview of Tourette's syndrome. It begins by defining Tourette's as a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It then discusses how Tourette's affects areas of the brain involved in movement. The document reviews potential misdiagnoses of Tourette's and various treatments options, including cognitive behavioral therapy and classical conditioning. It emphasizes the importance of considering the mental health impacts of Tourette's given the social stigma and bullying those with the disorder often face. The conclusion reiterates that Tourette's itself is not dangerous but can negatively impact quality of life.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary vocal and motor tics. Common tics include eye blinking, throat clearing, and limb or head movements. TS is diagnosed when both motor and vocal tics are present for at least one year. While sometimes inherited, the exact causes are unknown. Treatment may include medications and behavioral therapies to help manage tics. Educators are encouraged to accommodate students with TS by allowing for movement breaks, testing in separate rooms, and teaching acceptance to reduce stigma. Understanding and support from family, teachers, and peers can help those with TS lead productive lives.

Tourettes
Tourette's is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics that last for more than one year. It affects males more than females and is caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and include both motor and verbal tics. Doctors diagnose Tourette's through observing symptoms and patient history as no medical tests can identify it. While there is no cure, medications can help control symptoms.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics that typically begin before age 18. Common motor tics include eye blinking, head jerking, and body twisting, while vocal tics can include sounds like grunting, snorting, or repeating words. The cause is unknown but may involve abnormalities in neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Treatment involves psychotherapy to help manage symptoms and develop coping strategies, as well as medication in some severe cases.
touretts syndrome
A 7-year-old boy presented with a history of abnormal involuntary movements since age 2. His movements included eye blinking, tongue protrusion, and shoulder raising, which embarrassed him at school and socially. A review of his history revealed no typical seizures, developmental issues, or family history of epilepsy. Based on his symptoms meeting the diagnostic criteria, he was assessed as having a transient tic disorder.
Peer graded assignment
This document discusses Tourette Syndrome, a neurobiological disorder that the author's younger sister has. It begins by describing her sister's symptoms from childhood tics to inappropriate words as she grew older. It then explains the mechanisms in the brain involved, focusing on dysfunction in the thalamus, basal ganglia and frontal cortex. Circuits connecting these areas are implicated in causing involuntary movements. The document concludes by noting there are no diagnostic tests, and treatment typically involves medications to suppress tics, though these can have side effects.
Tourette syndrome symptoms, causes, and treatment
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that can cause involuntary movements and vocalizations. This article talks about how to recognize symptoms of Tourette Syndrome, its causes and treatments.
Understanding Children's Mental Health: Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome is a disorder which begins to manifest itself during early childhood. It is a condition that leads the child to have involuntary movements or noises which are commonly known as tics.
A tic has absolutely no purpose or meaning and can be anything from an involuntary blink to the head nodding. Tics are extremely common in children and tend to last less than one year however if the tic lasts longer than this it can lead to Tourette Syndrome.
Tinnitus causes and symptoms
Tinnitus is a condition where a person perceives sound when no external sound is present. It affects 10-15% of the population. Tinnitus can be caused by hearing loss, ear infections, head or neck injuries, certain medications, Meniere's disease, Eustachian tube dysfunction, changes in the ear bones, muscle spasms in the inner ear, acoustic neuromas or other tumors, blood vessel disorders, and TMJ problems. Sonus Complete is a natural supplement that may help treat tinnitus by supporting brain demands with vitamins, minerals and other elements.
Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome
This poem provides insight into living with Tourette syndrome from the perspective of a child with the disorder. It describes how children with Tourette syndrome experience a range of emotions and sometimes get teased due to their tics, which can include involuntary movements and vocalizations. However, the poem emphasizes that the disorder was not chosen by the children but rather "chosen" them, in order to promote understanding from others about the involuntary nature of the symptoms. The poem aims to help others remember that the tics associated with Tourette syndrome are not intentional actions by those who live with the neurological condition.
Tinnitus symptoms
Tinnitus research is important to understand the causes and effects of tinnitus. Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. It can be caused by damage to hair cells in the inner ear from loud noises, ageing, medications, tumors, or other auditory problems. Tinnitus research uses techniques like PET scans and tests of the auditory system to better understand tinnitus and how the brain is affected. The goals of tinnitus research include developing more effective treatments and facilitating coping strategies to reduce the impact of tinnitus on daily life.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Tourette's Syndrome
- 1. Tourettes Syndrome By:Taylor Flatau
- 3. The sounds are called “Vocal Tics”
- 4. The body movements are “Motor Tics”
- 6. Other causes can be; insufficient oxygen supply during birth, a low birth weight, or if the mother drank coffee or was under severe stress during pregnancy.
- 8. Motor Tics- eye blinking, sticking tongue out, head turning, shoulder jerking, or flexing fingers.
- 10. Doctors don't have to see the tics to diagnose the disorder
- 11. CT scans may be used to see if a child has it
- 12. Doctors look to see if it may be causing school or social problems
- 14. Some medications may be given to help stop the tics or lessen the occurrence of them
