Three visual manifestations of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (TS), a neuropsychiatric disorder, have been previously reported. In this paper we report anomalies in the measured kinetic paracentral visual field of TS patients and their family members. We found that 96% of TS patients exhibited paracentral kinetic visual field defects (nasal and temporal steps, enlargement, "ringing," and/or baring of the blind spot). Ninety-three percent of fathers of TS children and, surprisingly, about 80% of mothers exhibit these characteristic visual field anomalies. Sample data and examples of family studies are reported.
