title: 'Dyschronia' in a patient with Tourette's syndrome presenting as maternal neglect.
abstract: We report an unusual and unsuspected cause of maternal neglect in a patient with Tourette's syndrome. An important cause of the behaviour appears to have been a form of dyscalculia characterised by a complete inability to appreciate the passage of time. To our knowledge this is the first case of its kind to be reported.
