Abstract
Poor performances of patients with Tourette's syndrome (TS) on tests requiring visual-perceptual abilities had led previous authors to the suggestion of right hemisphere involvement. We have compared the results of neuropsychological examination of 16 children with TS, with those of 16 children with a lesion of the right hemisphere. No evidence was found of a dysfunction of the right hemisphere in TS.
