Clinical neurological examinations of 22 patients with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome and written reports of examinations of seven other patients are reported. Half the personally examined patients had minor motor asymmetries in addition to the typical motor and vocal tics found in all the patients. Thirty-six per cent of patients were left handed or ambidextrous. Electroencephalograms performed on 17 of the 22 patients showed non-specific abnormalities in 12 of them. These findings suggest that a neurological disorder underlies Tourette's syndrome, but they do not clarify its nature.
报告了对22例患有抽动秽语综合征患者的临床神经学检查以及另外7例患者的检查书面报告。在亲自检查的患者中，一半除了在所有患者中都发现的典型运动和发声抽动外，还有轻微的运动不对称。36%的患者是左撇子或双手灵巧。在22例患者中的17例进行的脑电图检查显示，其中12例有非特异性异常。这些发现表明，神经系统疾病是抽动秽语综合征的基础，但并未阐明其本质。
