AB Tourette  Syndrome  is  a  common  neuropsychiatric  disorder  with  onset  in  early  childhood.  It  is  characterized  by  multiple  involuntary  motor  tics  with  a  wax  and  wane  pattern  that  can  be  suppressed  temporarily.  Affected  individuals  must  present  at  least  one  vocal  (phonic)  tic.  These  tics  are  eye  blinking,  coughing,  throat  clearing,  sniffing,  and  facial  movements.  The  tics  are  often  associated  with  vocalization.  Intelligence  and  life  expectancy  are  not  affected  by  this  condition.
