Acquired (neurogenic) stuttering is a rare phenomenon seen after cerebral infarction or brain injury. Aetiology of this symptom is unclear, but recent evidence supports that it is a disturbance in the left hemispheric neural network involving the interplay between the cortex and basal ganglia. We present the case of a patient who develops acquired stuttering after a recurrence of a right temporoparietal anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III). We also review other cases of acquired stuttering and known anatomical correlates.
获得性(神经性)口吃是脑梗或脑损伤后出现的一种罕见现象。该症状的病因尚不清楚,但最近的证据支持它是左半球神经网络的一种紊乱,涉及皮质与基底神经节之间的相互作用。我们报告一例右颞顶间变性星形细胞瘤(世界卫生组织III级)复发后出现获得性口吃的患者。我们还回顾了其他获得性口吃病例及已知的解剖学关联。
