Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a chronic, familial disorder, characterized by involuntary motor and phonic tics that wax and wane in severity. TS is frequently accompanied by behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems that are often more incapacitating than the tic disorder itself. After a review of the disorder, in which the multidisciplinary aspects are emphasized, the article describes the clinical features of 60 children with TS, 49 boys and 11 girls, aged 13 +/- 3.6 years (mean SD), treated in the Neuropediatric Unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center. The children described had both motor and vocal tics, but also had ADHD (n = 44), obsessive-compulsive disorder (n = 32), learning disabilities (with 12 children learning in special education frameworks) and behavioral disorders (n = 36). The clinical profile of this group of children with TS is similar to that reported on referred patients regardless of cultural background. Since children with TS manifest multiple comorbidities, optimal therapy mandates the cooperation of a multidisciplinary team including a pediatric neurologist, a child psychiatrist, a psychologist and a family therapist. Working in concert, these specialists can implement a multimodal approach, addressing the neurological and psychiatric aspects of TS as well as enhancing the child's coping skills with the disorder itself and its consequences.
