Abstract

Stuttering has been defined as a disruption of the fluency of verbal expression characterized by the involuntary repetition or prolongation in the utterance of sounds and syllables. Acquired stuttering in the adult is rare and is usually associated with trauma or vascular disease. However, some patients with extrapyramidal diseases, especially with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) have been reported to develop stuttering in their disease course. We evaluated 22 PSP patients whether they developed stuttering or not. We observed 9 patients showed acquired stuttering and discussed pathognomonic mechanism of their stuttering.
