It maps to ICD-11 8A05.00 and legacy ICD-10 F95.2. Always verify the SCTID against the current edition release.","answer_md":"*When you're coding a clinical record for tic disorders, the right terminology binding matters as much as the diagnosis itself.*\n\n## In short\nIn **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.\n\n## The terminology, precisely\nTourette 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:\n\n- **SNOMED CT concept:** Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (disorder) — a disorder concept within the *Tic disorder* sub-hierarchy of *Disease (disorder)*.\n- **ICD-11:** 8A05.00 — Tourette syndrome, beneath *Primary tics or tic disorders* (8A05).\n- **ICD-10:** F95.2.\n\nFor 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. Confirm any subtype or refinement against the live browser before deployment.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nDevelopmental 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](/behavioural-therapy) and a structured [AbilityScore® profile](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) anchor coordinated, multidisciplinary care across [our network](/).\n\n## Trusted sources\nWHO 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.\n\n**Next step —** Partner with Pinnacle Blooms Network to align your tic-disorder coding with coordinated developmental therapy pathways — [connect with our clinical team](/).\n\nThis is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","canonical":"https://pinnacleblooms.org/ask/what-is-the-snomed-ct-concept-for-tourette-syndrome","editorial":{"reviewed_at":"2026-06-11T20:12:18.613642+00:00","reviewed_by":null,"developed_by":"SETU
