Abstract
We present a case report illustrating the complexity encountered in th e diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple diagnoses. The cli nical presentation in Tourette syndrome, and the behavioural manifesta tions in some cases of complex partial seizures can both be misunderst ood and misdiagnosed. The paper, within the framework of a case, empha sises the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the assessment and management of such cases.
