Facial tics

Elderberries, which ripen in September and October, are relished by many varieties of birds. As an herb used by people, they are somewhat laxative and diuretic. They have been used for centuries in the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia, facial tics and epilepsy.

Two cases of gabapentin-related dyskinesia have been reported (19). The patients were 60 and 41 years old and took gabapentin 900-1200 mg/day for generalized anxiety. Generalized dyskinetic movements and facial tics appeared after 3 days and disappeared after 2 days of withdrawal. 

PE On physical examination, her vital signs are T 37.6°C, BP 128/82 mm Hg, HR 84 beats/min, and RR 18 breaths/min. The pain is described as a chronic 9/10. Her current pain regimen includes oxycodone 10-20 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed (prn) for pain (about 100 mg/day) and hydromorphone 0.8-1.2 mg IV every 1 to 2 hours prn for breakthrough pain (about 8 mg/day). Allergies (ALL) Morphine (itching, flushing), codeine (nausea, vomiting), meperidine (involuntary leg movements, and facial tics). 

Conventional therapies include dopaminergic antagonists such as haloperidol and pimozide. Recent evidence indicates that the addition of low-dose nicotine to the regimen significandy reduces the incidence and severity of facial tics, indicating that the use of transcutaneous nicotine as adjunct therapy may improve manifestations of the disorder.

Tourette s syndrome. A syndrome of facial and vocal tics with onset in childhood, progressing to generalized jerking movements in any part of the body, with echolalia and coprolalia. 

Haloperidol is used not only for mania, dementia and other psychotic conditions but can also be prescribed for Tourette s syndrome, a condition found in children and adults which is characterized by facial twitches, tics and uncontrolled shoulder and arm movements. As the the child gets older he/she may grunt, snort or shout obscenities without control. 

Reaction of the /y-benzyloxy-o-methyl chiral aldehyde 97a with (/ )-crolylsi-lanes 217 (R = H, Et) under catalysis by TiC affords the ann,antt-dipropionate adduct 362 (Eq. (11.29)). The diastereoselectivity in this reaction is best explained by anti S e addition of the chiral crotylsilane to the least hindered face of the fi-alkoxy aldehyde chelate, as shown in the synclinal transition state 363. Finally, the anri.syn-dipropionate 364 may be obtained as the major adduct when aldehyde 97a is treated under the same conditions with the enantiomeric crotylsilane reagents (5)-217 (Eq. (11.30), R=Me, Et). This adduct should arise from the antiperiplanar transition state 365, where the anti S e facial selectivity of the crotylsilane reagent and the facial bias of the chiral aldehyde are maintained. In these cases, the factors that dictate the utilization of the synclinal vs the antiperiplanar transition states are (1) the requirement that a small substituent (H) occupy the position over the chelate ring, (2) that C-C bond formation occurs anti to the sterically demanding a-methyl group of the aldehyde and (3) the requirement for an anti Se mechanism, which dictates the stereochemistry of C(5) of the adducts 362 and 364. 

Musculoskeletal Tramadol-associated tics occurred in a 40-year-old man with a history of tramadol abuse, who had used 500 mg/day for about 4 years [192 ]. Tics developed when he increased his daily dose and disappeared during periods of abstinence. The tics consisted of facial motor tics...
