Klazomania shares some features with vocal tics seen in tic disorders including Tourette syndrome (TS).[3][1] Klazomania was described in a 2006 journal review as a cause of tics differentiated from TS (tourettism), attributed to infectious processes (encaphalitis) rather than TS.[1] A 1996 case report on one patient by Bates et al suggested klazomania was a vocal tic.[3]
