Dr. Rosario Trifiletti is a licensed Child Neurologist from New York State who now practices in New Jersey.
He will travel back to New York this Sunday to meet with at least 12 girls from LeRoy High School who have been diagnosed with a rare and inexplicable medical condition.
Doctors have deemed the condition "Conversion Disorder" but the girls' unexplainable Tourette-like behaviors are not improving. They have sudden and painful twitches and verbal outbursts.
Conversion Disorder was formally referred to as Mass Hysteria, which is Dr. Trifiletti's specialty. He says 3 more teens have come forward displaying similar symptoms, one of the students is believed to be a male.
He spoke with Morning Edition Host Alex Crichton and says an autoimmune disorder may be to blame.
