Neuroanatomy of coprolalia in Tourette syndrome using functional magnetic resonance imaging

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2004
To determine the neural substrates of phonic tics in Tourette syndrome (TS) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and compare with a proposed tic-generating network (TGN).One with TS and one normal control.fMRI scans were obtained on the TS patient during which numerous unsuppressed phonic tics occurred and, along with the scanner noise ...

Ictal Coprolalia: A Case Report and Review of Ictal Speech as a Localizing Feature in Epilepsy

Pediatric Neurology, 2016
Recognizing ictal semiology is an essential component to localization of seizure onset, especially in intractable epilepsy where surgical therapies may be beneficial. Ictal speech can be a common component of seizure semiology, but the various forms of ictal speech may have different lateralizing and localizing value.

Ictal Coprolalia: Three Cases with Nondominat Frontal Lobe Involvement and Review of the Literature

Clinical EEG and Neuroscience
Objective: Coprolalia is defined as the involuntary use of obscene, socially unacceptable, and derogatory words. Ictal coprolalia is a rare presentation of epilepsy. This study aimed to determine the localizing and lateralizing value and frequency of ictal coprolalia in epilepsy patients.

‘It's a curse!’: coprolalia in Tourette syndrome

European Journal of Neurology, 2013
Background and purposeCoprolalia is a complex socially inappropriate vocal tic most frequently reported in the context of Tourette syndrome (TS) and widely portrayed as a cardinal characteristic of this condition throughout popular culture. This study investigated which clinical factors may predispose some patients with TS to experience coprolalia and ...

Coprolalia in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1988
Although recent clinical research has emphasized the relationship between Tourette's syndrome (TS) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), coprolalia, the most dramatic of the TS symptoms, has not been described in DSM-III OCD. The case presented here shows that coprolalia can indeed occur in OCD.

Coprolalia and Malignant Phonic Tics

2021
Phonic tics typically occur in the company of motor tics, and the combination usually suggests the diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. Although phonic tics are often mild, in some cases they may be severe and disabling. Forceful and repetitive vocalizations can cause vocal cord and throat irritation.

Ictal Coprolalia in a Patient With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 2013
Background: The association between epilepsy and behavioral symptoms has attracted the attention of neurologists and psychiatrists since the nineteenth century, however many aspects of this relationship remain controversial. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl with temporal lobe epilepsy who presented with ictal coprophenomena, as well as ...
