| Popis: |
Case report on a 13 year old Nigerian boy with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, an uncommon disorder of movement and sound. The diagnosis was based on clinical features of multiple motor tics, followed by vocal tics that started in childhood complicated by mood swings and poor academic performance. This case brings to fore the need for a high index of clinical suspicion as well as a need for proper documentation with accurate clinical diagnosis and that this disease cuts across racial and cultural divides. |
