[From tics to the Gilles de la Tourette syndrome].

We report a case whose progressive course and forms of manifestation of generalized tic movements indicate relatively rare Gilles de la Tourette disease. It is characterized by the triad--non-coordinated mobility-dyskinesia, echolalia corporalia, epilepsy and according to the current data from the literature, compulsive behavior, phobias and sometimes episodes of insanity in the advanced stage. The clinical case we report as well as cases from the world literature is rather dubious, asks for prolonged follow-up and has polymorphic symptomatology and necessitates a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach. Beside the clinical features, laboratory findings has also been discussed.
