Abstract
Reduction of adventitious movements and compulsions during clomipramine treatment (25 mg - 200 mg daily at bedtime) in five prepubertal, autistic, retarded boys is reported from the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Bellevue Hospital and New York University Medical Center, New York.
Highlights
The absence of impaired consciousness, normal EEG, and lack of response to antiepileptic drugs should help to distinguish hemifacial or hemisomatic spasms from partial epilepsy and lead to confirmation of a posterior fossa tumor by MRI
Three patients with Tourette's syndrome (TS) and tic-related behaviors induced by external and internal stimuli are reported from the Department of Psychiatry, University College Medical School, Middlesex Hospital, London
All young adults whose tics began in childhood had developed a variety of obsessive compulsive disorders, sensory tics, reflex motor tics, or exaggerated startle responses, in response to internal and external stimuli
Summary
The absence of impaired consciousness, normal EEG, and lack of response to antiepileptic drugs should help to distinguish hemifacial or hemisomatic spasms from partial epilepsy and lead to confirmation of a posterior fossa tumor by MRI.
