Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette (30 October 1857 - 26 May 1904) was a French physician and the namesake of Tourette's syndrome, a neurological condition characterized by physical and verbal tics. Tourette described the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome in nine patients in 1884, using the name "maladie des tics". Charcot renamed the syndrome "Gilles de la Tourette's illness" in his honor. Around 1902, Tourette's condition worsened and he was dismissed from his post.
