- Abstract: The data on 24 Korean patient with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome are described. Main symptoms and other clinical data and EEG findings were generally consistent with those on Caucasian and other Asian patients reported by many authors and reviewers. The effectiveness of haloperidol treatment was also good. These data are thought to suggest organic etiology of this syndrome, but emotional components should not be neglected in understanding and helping patients with varied symptoms other than tic movements.
