CASE REPORT
Corpus callosum demyelination associated with acquired stuttering

Summary

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.
