Scope note: Contracción habitual, repetida y rápida de ciertos músculos, que produce acciones individualizadas estereotipadas que pueden suprimirse voluntariamente sólo durante períodos breves. A menudo afectan a la cara, cuerdas vocales, cuello y, con menor frecuencia, a las extremidades. Entre los ejemplos se incluyen limpieza repetitiva de la garganta, vocalizaciones, olfateo, contracciones de los labios, y masticación excesiva. Los tics tienden a agravarse por el estrés emocional. Cuando son frecuentes suelen interferir con el habla y con las RELACIONES INTERPERSONALES. Las afecciones que se caracterizan por tics frecuentes y prominentes como manifestación fundamental se conocen como TRASTORNOS DE TICS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp109-10)

Scope note: Habitual, repeated, rapid contraction of certain muscles, resulting in stereotyped individualized actions that can be voluntarily suppressed for only brief periods. They often involve the face, vocal cords, neck, and less often the extremities. Examples include repetitive throat clearing, vocalizations, sniffing, pursing the lips, and excessive blinking. Tics tend to be aggravated by emotional stress. When frequent they may interfere with speech and INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS. Conditions which feature frequent and prominent tics as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as TIC DISORDERS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp109-10)
