  • Title: Theoretical and clinical aspects of the Tourette syndrome (chronic multiple tic).
    Author: Fog R, Pakkenberg H.
    Journal: J Neural Transm Suppl; 1980; (16):211-5. PubMed ID: 6107331.
    Abstract:
    In three schizophrenic patients long-term neuroleptic treatment induced Tourette-like symptoms. There seems to be a partial overlap in the pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome and tardive dyskinesia. In five Tourette patients treatment with pimozide was very effective inducing only few side-effects. Long-term neuroleptic treatment may, however, aggravate the symptoms in the long run. A combination treatment with tetrabenazine and pimozide is suggested.
