Socio-legal consequences of Tourette Syndrome and its comorbidities: A case study and review of the literature.

Tourette Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with the presence of multiple motor and one or more verbal tics. In this case report, we present a 16 years old Tourette syndrome patient who was diagnosed with comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The patient was evaluated for legal responsibility after she made untrue allegations saying that a bus driver had sexually harassed her. We summarize the case and review the current literature to assess the socio-legal aspects of Tourette syndrome.
