BackgroundTourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental motor disorder. The first diagnosis during adult life involves cases of pre-existing undiagnosed TS.Case DescriptionWe present the case of an elderly patient with severe, non-remitted TS, misdiagnosed with "psychoneurosis". The patient was correctly labeled at the age of 82.ConclusionDespite delays in TS diagnosis, only a few patients remain undiagnosed by the age of 45.
