Objective:
To make a specific review of the definition and symptomatology of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
Development And Conclusion:
We made an basic syndrome evaluation and at the same time established a relationship with/between the most significant co-morbid features. We also refer briefly to current drug treatment and dosage and mention some of the most relevant side-effects of these drugs. The exact etiology of this disorder is still not fully understood but it is thought to be due to autosomal dominant inheritance, with marked penetration in males.
