Sindrome de Tourette

  • hace 15 años
El síndrome de Tourette (ST) es un trastorno neurológico heredado que cursa con movimientos y sonidos vocales (fónicos) involuntarios y repetidos. En algunos casos, tales movimientos y sonidos vocales involuntarios incluyen palabras y frases inapropiadas si es que tambien tienen coprolalia. Aunque la causa fundamental del ST es desconocida, la investigación actual sugiere que hay una anormalidad en los genes afectando el metabolismo de los transmisores cerebrales como dopamina, serotonina, y noradrenalina. Los neurotransmisores son productos químicos en el cerebro que llevan las señales de una célula nerviosa a la otra.
No todas las personas con ST tienen otros trastornos además de los tics. Sin embargo, muchas personas experimentan problemas adicionales como el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, en el cual la persona siente que algo tuviera que hacerse repetidamente; el trastorno de déficit de atención, en el cual la persona tiene dificultades en concentrarse y se distrae fácilmente; trastornos del desarrollo del aprendizaje, los cuales incluyen dificultades de lectura, escritura, aritmética, y problemas perceptuales; o trastornos del sueño, que incluyen despertarse frecuentemente o hablar dormido.
