Abstract

A case of Tourette’s syndrome is presented in a thirteen-year-old boy with obsessive-compulsive symp-toms including self-mutilation of the upper lip. His upper lip injury was caused by complication of picking with fingernail, and self-biting with the lower anterior teeth. It became rapidly worse and the median part of the upper lip collapsed. But the placement of an acrylic splint was able to prevent further damage of the upper lip.
