ABSTRACT
Acquired movement disorders in children can present a diagnostic dilemma. Chorea, dystonia, and atypical seizures must be distinguished from simple or complex tics. The combination of chronic motor and vocal tics, Tourette syndrome, may in some children be associated with thought and behavioral disorders, sleep disturbances, headaches, and school difficulties (e.g., attention deficit disorder). The increasing numbers of children recognized as having Tourette syndrome, its broadening clinical spectrum and frequent familial nature are detailed in this review.
