What Researchers Did
Researchers described a case of adult-onset tics in a 30-year-old male following a severe closed head injury.
What They Found
They found that a 30-year-old male developed multiple motor and vocal tics two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a 4,100-pound air-conditioning unit. His tics, which increased in severity over several months, improved with pimozide and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
