Debre-Tourette Syndrome

Debré-Tourette Syndrome, more accurately called Tourette Syndrome, is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary movements and sounds called tics. These tics can include repetitive motions like blinking or facial grimacing, and sounds such as throat clearing or grunting. The severity and types of tics vary among individuals and often fluctuate over time. While the exact cause is unknown, Tourette's is believed to involve genetic and neural factors affecting brain regions that control movement and behavior. Most people with Tourette experience improvements in symptoms during adulthood, and many lead successful, fulfilling lives with appropriate support and management.
