Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Acquired stuttering is a disruption of speech fluency that emerges later in life.
  • It differs from developmental stuttering in its etiology and presentation.

Observation:

  • A case of sudden acquired stuttering was observed in an elderly female patient.
  • The onset was associated with an ischemic infarct located near the left basal ganglia.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates a specific neurological cause for acquired stuttering.
  • Imaging revealed an ischemic infarct in a critical brain region affecting speech production.

Implications:

  • This case expands understanding of the neurological underpinnings of stuttering.
  • Early identification of neurological events is crucial for managing acquired stuttering.
