  • Title: [Pathogenesis and treatment of tic-type hyperkinesis in children].
    Author: Bondarenko ES, Malyshev IuI, Blagosklonov AV, Lebedev VN.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1981; 81(10):1449-56. PubMed ID: 6947655.
    Abstract:
    Results of clinical and electrophysiological examinations of 52 children with tic-type hyperkineses are presented. Nine of them had generalized tic (Gilles de la Tourette's disease), and 43 had local forms. All the children were examined electroencephalographically; 26 children had, in addition, an electronystagmographic examination. Changes pointing to organic affections of the brain were revealed. The authors recommend that anticonvulsants be used for tic therapy. In children with generalized tic the anticonvulsants may be combined with haloperidol.
