Recordemos que esta sección se ha convertido en lectura obligada para todos aquellos interesados en síntesis fundamentales de tópicos muchos veces polémicos y controvertidos.
Para esta ocasión de la mano de Andrea Cavanna se describe en 100 palabras el síndrome Guilles de la Tourette:
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome was first described by Parisian doctor Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette in 1885. Originally considered a rare medical curiosity, the syndrome of multiple tics is now regarded as a fairly common neurodevelopmental condition, affecting up to 1% of school-age children. Gilles de la Tourette described the clinical triad of tics, echolalia and coprolalia. The last is relatively rare and no longer features as a diagnostic criterion, despite the media obsession with obscene manifestations. French colleagues react with horror when they see their syndrome's name shortened to Tourette syndrome
