Abstract
We report an unusual and unsuspected cause of maternal neglect in a pa tient with Tourette's syndrome. An important cause of the behaviour ap pears to have been a form of dyscalculia characterised by a complete i nability to appreciate the passage of time. To our knowledge this is t he first case of its kind to be reported.
