多发性抽动症发病机制研究进展摘 要：多发性抽动症（Tourettes syndrome, TS）是以多种运动性和一种或多种发声性抽动为主要表现的慢性神经精神障碍性疾病。
目前临床尚无特效治疗方法。
TS反复发作，给病患及家庭带来沉重的心理和经济负担，严重影响了患儿的生活质量。
TS的病因及发病机制目前尚未明确，针对其发病机制有很多假说，可能是一种因素所致，或者可能是多种因素共同作用的结果。
因此本文将对TS发病机制进行在探讨，以期为TS治疗拓宽新思路。

At present, there is no special treatment method in clinic. The recurrent attacks of TS have brought heavy psychological and economic burden to the patients and families, which seriously affected the quality of life of the children. The etiology and pathogenesis of TS is not quite clear at present, it may be a factor, or it may be the result of a combination of factors, and there are many hypotheses for its pathogenesis. Therefore, this paper will explore the etiology of TS to broaden new ideas for TS treatment.Key Words: Children; Tourettes syndrome; Pathogenesis; Etiology; Theoretical discussion多发性抽动症又称抽动秽语综合征（Tourettes syndrome, TS），是一种慢性、波动性、多发性运动肌的快速抽搐，伴或不伴有不自主发声和语言障碍为主要特征的神经精神障碍性疾病[1]。
TS的患病率在儿童中为0.39%～1.51%[2]。
临床多发于儿童及青少年，发病隐袭，病程长。
若患者出现疾病后控制不好或不及时医治，都会严重影响患者及其家属的生活[3]，因而对于TS的诊断与治疗备受关注。
