Klazomania - Classification

Classification

Klazomania shares some features with vocal tics seen in tic disorders including Tourette syndrome (TS). Klazomania was described in a 2006 journal review as a cause of tics differentiated from TS (tourettism), attributed to infectious processes (encaphalitis) rather than TS. A 1996 case report on one patient by Bates et al suggested klazomania was a vocal tic.
