The Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurobehavioural disorder characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics. Accessory symptoms include coprophenomena, echophenomena and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. There is a significant genetic contribution to their aetiology. Simple tics may be mistaken for myoclonic epilepsy and complex tics for complex partial seizures. Like epilepsy, GTS is a brain disorder that leads to general disturbances in behaviour not just the cardinal symptoms (i.e. tics or seizures).
抽动秽语综合征（GTS）是一种神经行为障碍，其特征为多种运动性和发声性抽动。附属症状包括秽语症、模仿言语和强迫行为。其病因有很大的遗传因素。简单抽动可能被误诊为肌阵挛性癫痫，复杂抽动可能被误诊为复杂部分性发作。与癫痫一样，GTS是一种脑部疾病，不仅会导致主要症状（即抽动或发作），还会引起行为的全面紊乱。
