It has been brought to the Publisher's attention that [Tables 1] and [2] were not attributed correctly to their sources in the above article published in the Journal of Pediatric Neurology, Volume 15, Number 4, 2017 (DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1602256). The updated tables along with their source details appear as follows:

Table 1

Differentiating motor tics from stereotypies

Tics

Stereotypies

Age at onset

6–7 y

< 2 y

Pattern

Variable action with wax and wane

Constant, fixed, and predictable

Movements

Eye blinks, facial grimace, head twists, or shoulder shrugs

Arms/hands (flap, wave), may involve the whole body (rock/head nod)

Vocalization

Sniffing, throat clearing

Moan, humming with movement

Rhythm

Rapid, sudden, random

Rhythmic

Duration

Intermittent, brief, and abrupt

Intermittent, continuous, and prolonged

Severity

Increase until early adolescence

Gradually improve during later childhood

Premonitory urge

Yes

No

Trigger

Excitement, stress

Excitement, stress, also while engrossed in an activity

Subjective experience

Dislike it, and may even deny its presence

Most like it, with no discomfort

Suppression

Brief, voluntary (but have increased “inner tension”)

With distraction, rarely with conscious effort

Distraction

Reduction of tics

Stops

Family history

Frequently positive

Might be positive

Treatment

Clonidine, anti-dopaminergic drugs

Behavioral therapy
