Abstract:
Developmental stammering is relatively common in the adult population. Stammering has a poor prognosis when it persists beyond adolescence and spontaneous or treatment-induced remission is very rare in adults. In this communication we report a case of life-long developmental stammering that resolved completely after the onset of a posterior circulation stroke and we speculate on the reason for this.
