Although the cause of<unk>  is unknown, it is considered to be associated with encephalitis lethargica; a 2006 journal review by Jankovic and Mejia attributes<unk>  to tourettism (tics not due to Tourette syndrome), widely seen after the encephalitic lethargica pandemic of 1916 to 1927. Wohlfart (1961) hypothesized that<unk>  is caused by an irritating lesion in the mesencephalon and a malfunction in the control of the motor circuit from the substantia nigra in the mesencephalon to the globus pallidus in the striatum (mesostraital pathway). This circuit becomes overstimulated during a mesencephalic "fit". In a 1996 report of one case, Bates et al. postulated that<unk>  is similar to the vocal tics of Tourette syndrome, although patients with<unk>  may not have the motor tics necessary for a diagnosis of TS. Bates and colleagues observed a case where alcohol use disorder and encephalitis were accompanied by vocal tics and occasionally<unk> . They hypothesized that the cause of<unk>  is linked to the combined effects of brain damage due to alcohol use disorder or encephalitis.
