title: Concordant Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome in monozygotic twins: a clinical, neurophysiological and CT study.
abstract: A 19-year-old male twin pair were concordant for suffering from Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome in different forms and severity. CT revealed ventricular asymmetries of varying degree within the normal range and there were no neurophysiological abnormalities. The interrelationship of genetic and environmental factors in phenotyping the syndrome is discussed.
