13. Síndrome de Gilles de la Tourette: estudo clínico de 58 casos
A síndrome de Gilles de la Tourette (SGT) é um transtorno neuropsiquiátrico, de início na infância, caracterizado pela presença de tiques motores e vocais. Cinquenta e oito pacientes com SGT foram acompanhados clinicamente durante período de três anos. Trinta e seis pacientes eram do sexo masculino e 22 do feminino, a proporção entre os sexos foi 1

14. Estudo epidemiologico e clinico dos tiques e da sindrome Gilles de la Tourette em uma amostra da população de Indaiatuba
A síndrome de Gilles de La Tourette (S.GL T) e os Transtornos dos Tiques representam eventos de ordem familiar, caracterizados por apresentarem movimentos involuntários e/ou vocalizações, com elevada incidência de transtornos de comportamento associados. Na SGLT os sintomas comórbidos mais comuns são o Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperativid

15. Oculomotor control in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
Saccadic eye movements, fixation and smooth pursuit were studied in 28 children with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and found to be normal. A link has been postulated between Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and other movement disorders. The results obtained in the present series do not support this hypothesis.

16. No evidence for genetic linkage of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome on chromosomes 7 and 18.
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a heritable neuropsychiatric disorder. In order to determine the chromosomal localisation of the locus involved, genetic linkage studies were initiated in six extended families. The Gilles de la Tourette gene has been tentatively assigned to chromosome 18q22.1. In our present study no evidence for genetic linkage on chromoso

17. Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome in monozygotic twins
Concordance is reported of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome in a male twin pair in whom phenotyping revealed a >98·7% probability that they were monozygotic. The development and extent of the illness differed markedly in the two subjects. Our findings are compatible with the view that there is a genetic form of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.

18. Tonic, phasic and cortical arousal in Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome.
This study explored the hypothesis that Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome involves a disturbance in arousal modulation. The experimental group consisted of 20 unmedicated subjects with the Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, and the control group of 20 subjects with chronic medical illnesses (haemophilia, von Willebrandt's disease and diabetes). There were diff

19. Psychopathology and movement disorders: a new perspective on the Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
Attention is drawn to associations between movement disorders and psychopathology. The historical background of this is briefly reviewed, and then some recent research findings with regards to the Gilles de la Tourette syndrome are presented. In particular, associations between aggressive and obsessive compulsive disorder and Gilles de la Tourette movements

20. A case of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome with midbrain involvement.
In a 27-year-old patient with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome a pineal tumor had been found 10 years previously and was apparently a coincidental finding. Minute calcifications were later detected around the third ventricle and the mesencephalic periaqueductal gray matter by high resolution computed tomography. It is argued that this observation may support

21. Contingent negative variation in adults with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
Three deflections or waves of the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV): the Slow Negative Wave (SNW), the Terminal CNV (TCNV) and the Post Imperative Negative Variation (PINV) were studied in 18 adults with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and in 15 controls. The patients showed a reduced SNW, a normal TCNV and an increased PINV. Moreover, at the right parietal

22. The treatment of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome by limbic leucotomy.
A patient with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and severe self-injurious compulsions who had failed to respond to drug treatment and behavioural therapy obtained a complete and sustained resolution of his destructive behaviour and improvement in his tics following bilateral limbic leucotomy.

23. Clinical features and long-term treatment with pimozide in 65 patients with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome.
During the last seven years 65 patients with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome have been treated. Pimozide was used as the preferred drug because of our experience of treating other hyperkinesias which indicated fewer side-effects than with haloperidol. Of the 65 patients with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, 59 were treated with pimozide alone or in combina

24. Abnormalities of the blink reflex in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
The blink reflex and it's recovery cycle were studied in 26 patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and 10 controls. There was a significant increase in the mean duration of the R2 response. The amplitude of the R2 response following paired shocks (mean R2[T]/R2[C]%) was 11%, 40% and 52% of the conditioning stimulus with intervals of 200 ms, 500 ms and
