The occurrence of a transient neurogenic stutter in a male anorexic patient is described. The stutter developed following a prolonged period of starvation, and during refeeding the patient recovered from the stuttering behavior. The patient was not receiving any drugs known to cause stuttering, and it is postulated that the stutter developed as a result of the gross impairment of brain function secondary to chronic starvation. A review of the literature has failed to reveal any information on anorexia nervosa as a cause of neurogenic (acquired) stuttering.
本文描述了一名男性厌食症患者出现短暂性神经源性口吃的情况。口吃在长期饥饿后出现，在重新进食期间患者的口吃行为有所恢复。该患者未服用任何已知会导致口吃的药物，据推测，口吃是由于慢性饥饿继发的大脑功能严重受损所致。文献综述未发现有关神经性厌食症作为神经源性（后天性）口吃病因的任何信息。
