Abstract

Tourette syndrome is a neurological and psychiatric disorder that is accompanied by involuntary bodily movements and / or making meaningless sounds that begin in childhood. Recurrent symptoms is an important feature. Despite its low prevalence, patients can come to primary health care services for various reasons and their controls can be done by their family physicians in coordination with the relevant departments. In this article, we presented a case of late diagnosis of Tourette’s syndrome who developed myocarditis due to antipsychotic use during follow-up.
