Abstract
Eighty years ago Gilles de la Tourette (1885) described the syndrome which has become eponymous. It has been usual to consider it as a relatively rare constellation of symptoms, sometimes the concern of the neurologist, sometimes of the psychiatrist; but in recent years three papers (Bockner, 1959; MacDonald, 1963; Polites, Kruger and Stevenson, 1965) discussing the syndrome and its treatment have appeared in British journals alone. All comment on the infrequency of the syndrome, but one does suggest that it may be less infrequent than has been thought in the past.
