F95 ICT disorders

This is a set of syndromes in which the predominant manifestation is one of the forms of ICTs. A ICT is an involuntary, fast, repeated, arrhythmic movement that usually affects a circumscribed group of muscles or a vocalization of abrupt appearance and that lacks an apparent purpose. ICTs tend to be experienced as irrepressible, but they can often be controlled for a certain time. Both engines and phonatory tics can be divided into simple and complex, although these limits are not well defined. The most frequent simple motor tics are eye winks, neck shakes, shrug and grimaces. The most common phonatory tics are carraspeos, guttural noises, noisy nasal inspirations and siseos. The most frequent complex tics are self -support, jumps and jumps. The complex phonatory tics that are most often presented are the repetition of specific words, the use of socially unacceptable words (often) and the repetition of the sounds or words (Palilalaia).

The severity of the tics varies greatly. On the one hand, the phenomenon is almost normal in perhaps the fifth to the tenth of the children, who present transient tics on occasion. At the other extreme, Gilles Syndrome of the Tourette is a rare and disabling chronic disorder. It is unknown if these extremes are different categories or rather the extremes of a unique spectrum. ICT disorders are clearly more frequent in boys than in girls and the family history of ICTs are frequent.

Diagnosis guidelines

The most important features that differentiate tics from other motor disorders are the sudden speed, transience and circumscribed nature of the movements, the lack of underlying neurological disorders, the reiteration, the fact that they usually disappear during sleep and ease with the ease with that can be reproduced or voluntarily suppressed. The lack of rhythmity differentiates them from the stereotyped movements that occur in some cases of autism or mental retardation. The mannerisms that are observed in these same disorders tend to cover more complex and varied movements of those that usually occur in ICTs.

ICTs usually occur in the form of isolated phenomena, but it is not uncommon for them to be accompanied by a wide variety of emotions disorders, and especially with obsessive and hypochondriacos phenomena. However, ICTs can accompany specific development delays.

F95.0 transient tics disorder

Disorders that satisfy the general guidelines of ICTs, but in which they do not persist more than twelve months. This is the most frequent shape between four or five years of age and usually ICTs take the form of eyes winks, grimaces or neck shakes. In some cases they are presented as a unique episode, but in others there are for several months remissions and relapses.

F95.1 chronic tics disorder motors or phonatory

Disorders in which the general guidelines of the ICTs are satisfied, one times engines and other phonations (but not both at the same time), which can be both simple and, what is more frequent, complex and that last more than a year.

F95.2 Multiple Tics disorder Combined engines and phonatory (Tourette Gilles Syndrome)

Form of tics disorders in which multiple motor tics and one or more phonatory tics have been presented or presented, not being necessary, however, they have been presented together. The beginning is almost always in childhood or adolescence. They are frequent background of engines before fonatorium tics are presented. Symptoms usually worsen during adolescence and it is common for alteration to persist in adulthood.

Phonatory tics are usually complex, in the form of repeated explosive vocalizations, carraspei, grunts and the use of obscene words or phrases. Sometimes an ecopraxia of gestures that can also be obscene (co -owners) is added. Motor tics and phonatory tics can be voluntarily suppressed for short periods of time, exacerbate during stressful situations and disappear during sleep.
