Recurrence of Childhood Multiple Tic in Late Adult Life

Tic Exacerbation in Adults with Tourette Syndrome: A Case Series

“…Notably, Klawans and Barr9 reported four patients, each with an age of exacerbation greater than 60 years, and latency periods exceeding 40 years in all cases. In each of these studies, adults experienced shifts in their symptomatology over periods of years or decades, unlike the more rapid fluctuations over weeks to months that has been observed in children 15…”

Chronic tic cough in adults: a case report

“…Tic disorders are often diagnosed at ages 4–8 years and are most commonly diagnosed at ages 8–12 years. The condition is predominantly observed in males and typically improves progressively during adolescence and early adulthood ( 27 , 28 ). Motor tics usually precede vocal tics.…”

“…Sara M. et al reported 16 individuals with a childhood diagnosis of TS who reemerged with tics in adulthood, with an average latency of 16 years ( 40 ). Klawans et al reported four individuals who presented with a variety of motor and vocal tics before the age of 9 years, with tics resolving completely by the age of 20 years but recurring after the age of 60 years ( 28 ). The onset of tic disorders, which are often first observed in children and adolescents, has also been reported in adulthood.…”

Adult‐onset tic disorders

“…Furthermore, OCB is now widely regarded as a phenotype of the putative GTS gene(s) 22. Linazasoro and colleagues23 described a patient who had presented with only OCD since childhood but developed GTS symptoms at the age of 72 years, and suggested that the expression of the gene may be different in the same patient during the course of his life. Three of our eight patients had exhibited OCB in childhood and three had a positive family history of tics or OCB.…”
