abstract="Tourette syndrome is a childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by involuntary or urge-driven motor and vocal tics. When tics cause impairment or pain, medical treatment is often recommended.(1) We present a patient with Tourette syndrome who had treatment-refractory violent neck tics. We propose that the frequent violent neck tics caused a vertebral artery dissection leading to right pontine and bilateral cerebellar infarcts.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
