(Not all that tics is TS.) While it is possible for TS to co-occur with some of the other conditions which cause tics, Kurlan estimated (in his talk at the national conference) that a fair percentage of the patients that he sees probably don't have a TS diagnosis, rather a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. 1.

"Involuntary movement disorders are not common after lightning, although they have been reported in the past," Dr. Cherington said in an interview with Reuters Health. "The involuntary movement disorders in the four patients we present include dystonic movements, tremors, tics, and myoclonic jerking movements." Medscape article

Posts: 12126 (10/21/05 05:40:21) EZOP/Ribbit Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	e-medicine article on Tourette Syndrome Pathologic tics (secondary [tourettism]) * Infections - Encephalitis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease * Sydenham chorea * Drugs - Stimulants, levodopa, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, antipsychotics (tardive tics) * Toxins - Carbon monoxide * Developmental - Static encephalopathy, mental retardation syndromes, chromosomal abnormalities * Other - Head trauma, stroke, neurocutaneous syndromes, chromosomal abnormalities, schizophrenia, neuroacanthocytosis degenerative disorders PostGrad Medicine- Is it a tic or Tourette's? Several conditions, termed tourettism, may mimic Tourette's syndrome. Drugs, including stimulants, levodopa (Dopar, Larodopa), and antiepileptic medications (eg, phenytoin [Dilantin], carbamazepine [Atretol, Epitol, Tegretol], lamotrigine [Lamictal]), may cause tourettism. Discontinuation of the offending drug leads to prompt remission of the tics. Neuroleptic medications with potent dopamine2 (D2) antagonist activity (eg, haloperidol [Haldol]) may cause tardive tourettism, which presents with delayed and often permanent tics identical to Tourette's syndrome. Other causes of tourettism include infections (eg, Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, encephalitis), toxins (eg, carbon monoxide), Huntington's disease, head trauma, stroke, neuroacanthocytosis, chromosomal abnormalities, cerebral palsy, neurocutaneous syndromes, and schizophrenia (1).
