Abstract
A 40‐year‐old man with childhood‐onset Tourette syndrome (TS) developed Huntington disease (HD). We believe this to be the first reported case of childhood‐onset TS with adult onset HD. Discovery of other cases with both disorders may provide clues to the pathophysiology of both conditions.Keywords
