Abstract

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a complex disorder characterized by the presence of motor and vocal tics, as well as neuropsychiatric pathological features. Visual field defects have also been described in GTS patients by Enoch et al. in the 1980s. In the current paper, the authors discuss Enoch et al. studies showing visual field defects in patients with GTS, presenting a similar case evaluated in the context of newer structural and functional examination modalities.

Keywords: Gilles de la Tourette; hemifield visual evoked potentials; visual field defects.
