Compared with developmental stuttering, adult onset acquired stuttering is rare. However, several case reports describe acquired stuttering and an association with callosal pathology. Interestingly, these cases share a neuroanatomical localisation also demonstrated in developmental stuttering. We present a case of adult onset acquired stuttering associated with inflammatory demyelination within the corpus callosum. This patient's disfluency improved after the initiation of immunomodulatory therapy.
与发育性口吃相比,成人起病的获得性口吃较为罕见。然而,有几例病例报告描述了获得性口吃及其与胼胝体病变的关联。有趣的是,这些病例具有一种在发育性口吃也有表现的神经解剖定位。我们报告一例成人起病的获得性口吃病例,该病例与胼胝体内的炎性脱髓鞘有关。该患者在开始免疫调节治疗后言语不流畅情况有所改善。
