title: Clomipramine-induced tourettism in obsessive-compulsive disorder: clinical and theoretical implications.
abstract: We report a case in which vocal and motor tics (Tourettism) developed after the administration of clomipramine hydrochloride in a young patient with obsessive compulsive disorder and schizoid personality disorder. Several hypotheses for this occurrence are proposed based on the suggested pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome.
