AB  - Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics. Attention deficit, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality problems, and impulsivity may be associated with TS. Functional neuro-imaging studies indicate that the ventral striatum is the most affected brain area in TS. We report a case with TS who had cerebellar atrophy, cerebellar arachnoid cyst, bilateral congenital triangular alopecia, bilateral strabismus, and oxycephaly. The association among these symptoms and TS is rare, and the possible relationship of these symptoms should be investigated with further studies.
