When you're coding a clinical record for tic disorders, the right terminology binding matters as much as the diagnosis itself.
In short
In SNOMED CT, Tourette Syndrome is represented by the fully specified concept "Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (disorder)", SCTID 5158005, a child of the combined tic-disorder hierarchy. It maps to ICD-11 code 8A05.00 (Tourette syndrome, under primary tics or tic disorders) and to the legacy ICD-10 F95.2 (combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder). Always verify the SCTID against your current national edition release, as preferred terms and hierarchy placement are version-dependent.
The terminology, precisely
Tourette Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental condition defined by the presence of multiple motor tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic persisting for more than a year, with onset in childhood. For coding and interoperability:
- SNOMED CT concept: Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (disorder) — a disorder concept within the Tic disorder sub-hierarchy of Disease (disorder).
- ICD-11: 8A05.00 — Tourette syndrome, beneath Primary tics or tic disorders (8A05).
- ICD-10: F95.2.
For EHR builds in India, bind the SNOMED CT concept to your problem list and cross-map to ICD-11 for statutory reporting. SNOMED's polyhierarchy lets the concept inherit both neurodevelopmental and movement disorder attributes, which is useful when stratifying comorbid ADHD or OCD.

The Pinnacle way
Developmental measurement supports care planning; diagnosis requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional., under qualified clinician care — never from a code lookup or an online tool. Coding supports the record; the clinical picture drives the plan. For children presenting with tics alongside developmental or communication needs, our behaviour and developmental therapy services and a structured AbilityScore® profile anchor coordinated, multidisciplinary care across our network.
Trusted sources
WHO ICD-11 for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (8A05 Primary tics or tic disorders); WHO classification standards for clinical terminology mapping. Verify the active SNOMED CT International or national edition release for the current preferred term and SCTID.

CONNECT THE ANSWER TO YOUR CHILD’S DAY
Something to notice. Something to discuss.
What to notice
In clinical records, confirm whether the child meets the full criterion of multiple motor tics plus at least one vocal tic for over a year before binding the Tourette concept, rather than a single or transient tic disorder code.
In everyday life
When building an EHR problem list, bind the SNOMED CT disorder concept and cross-map to ICD-11 8A05.00 for statutory reporting, verifying the SCTID against your live national edition release.
