Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is a poorly understood and studied syndrome as it is indeed a rare entity. Since its first description in 1907 by French neurologist Pierre Marie involving a patient who presented with an Alsatian accent, there are approximately only 60 cases reported in the literature. The majority of such cases of FAS have been secondary to cerebrovascular accidents. Of the cases in the literature, none report such a transitory nature of FAS. In this particular case, a 55-year-old male presented with a foreign accent. This FAS was triggered by ischemia and was reversed after a seizure, the first reported in the literature.
外国口音综合征(FAS)是一种鲜为人知且研究较少的综合征,因为它确实是一种罕见的病症。自1907年法国神经学家皮埃尔·玛丽首次描述以来,涉及一名带有阿尔萨斯口音患者的病例,文献中报道的此类病例大约只有60例。FAS的大多数此类病例继发于脑血管意外。在文献中的病例中,没有报告FAS具有这种短暂性。在这个特殊病例中,一名55岁男性出现了外国口音。这种FAS由局部缺血引发,并在一次癫痫发作后逆转,这是文献中首次报道。
