Síndrome de Gilles de la Tourette associada ao transtorno de déficit de atenção com hiperatividade: Resposta clínica satisfatória a inibidor seletivo da recaptura de serotonina e metilfenidato

Abstract

Tourette Syndrome (TS), characterized by motor and vocal tics, is often associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These associated conditions frequently cause more impairment in patients than tics themselves. We report the case of TS with comorbid ADHD and OCD. Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and methylphenidate, led to significantly improvement of ADHD symptoms, compulsive symptoms and tics.
