https://doi.org/10.25118/2236-918X-4-4-2Keywords:
Tourette, deep brain stimulation, management, psychosurgeryAbstract
Tourette syndrome may be mild and never come to medical attention, or severe and refractory, requiring surgical treatment, a situation that occurs in only a small number of cases. This study reviews the medical literature on deep brain stimulation for refractory cases of Tourette syndrome.
