“…For example, the absence of adaptation and secondary behaviors do not seem to be a reliable differential criterion (Theys et al, 2008). When we exclude these two criteria, we observe that D. shows three of the four characteristics of neurogenic stuttering: the presence of annoyance but absence of anxiety around stuttering; stuttering that occurs relatively consistent across various types of speech tasks; and, repetitions, prolongations and blocks that do not occur only on initial syllables of words and utterances.…”

“…Acquired stuttering can be differentiated in a neurogenic and a psychogenic form. Neurogenic stuttering typically occurs in adults following stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurodegenerative disease (De Nil, Rochon, & Jokel, 2008;Theys, van Wieringen, & De Nil, 2008). It has also been described following epilepsy (Michel et al, 2004), encephalitis (Chen & Peng, 1993), use of medication (Movsessian, 2005), anorexia (Byrne, Byrne, & Zibin, 1993) and other disorders that might affect brain function.…”

a b s t r a c tThis case study describes a 16-year-old boy who started to stutter after a rotavirus infection followed by signs suggestive of a cerebellar encephalitis. It illustrates the fact that acquired stuttering can be observed in younger children and that it may be difficult to distinguish neurogenic from psychogenic forms of acquired stuttering in some cases. This is especially true following a disease that is not commonly associated with acquired stuttering. Speech, language and medical results of our patient are reported in detail. Similarities with previously reported cases and comparisons to (speech) characteristics of psychogenic and neurogenic stuttering will be discussed.

“…In neurogenic stuttering, unlike developmental stuttering, speech performance does not present alteration related to the type of task requested (spontaneous speech, individual reading, singing, automatic speech) (10,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . In this context, the objective of the present study was to characterize the fluency profile of individuals with Parkinson's disease in different speech tasks.…”

“…However, changes in speech fluency may be manifested late, and these manifestations are often associated with neurological episodes, side effects of medication use, or in psychological contexts; under these conditions, the term used in the literature is acquired stuttering (13) . The term "acquired stuttering" is used with reservations in the literature, because there is discussion about considering this type of stuttering as an isolated pathology or as a symptom arising from other pathologies (1,10,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . Among the different types of acquired stuttering, the term neurogenic stuttering refers to a speech fluency disorder resulting from damage to the central nervous system, and it is the most frequent type of acquired stuttering (10,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Caracterizar o perfil da fluência da fala de indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson em diferentes tarefas de fala. Método Participaram do estudo 40 indivíduos, de 40 a 80 anos de idade, de ambos os gêneros, divididos em 2 grupos: GP (grupo pesquisa - 20 indivíduos com diagnóstico de Doença de Parkinson); GC (grupo controle - 20 indivíduos sem qualquer alteração de comunicação e/ou neurológica). Para todos os participantes, foram coletadas três amostras de fala envolvendo diferentes tarefas: monólogo, leitura individual e fala automática. Resultados O GP apresentou um número significativamente maior de rupturas, tanto comuns quanto gagas, e maiores porcentagens de descontinuidade de fala e disfluências gagas nas tarefas de monólogo e leitura quando comparado ao GC. Nas tarefas de fala automática, ambos os grupos apresentaram número reduzido de rupturas comuns e gagas, não apresentando diferença significante entre os grupos para esta tarefa. Em relação à velocidade de fala, tanto em palavras quanto em sílabas por minuto, os indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson apresentaram velocidade reduzida em relação ao grupo controle em todas as tarefas de fala. Conclusão O GP apresentou alteração em todos os parâmetros da fluência avaliados no presente estudo quando comparado ao grupo controle, porém esta alteração da fluência não se configura como um quadro de gagueira.

Neurogenic stuttering is an acquired speech disorder characterized by the occurrence of stuttering-like dysfluencies following brain damage. Because the onset of stuttering in these patients is associated with brain lesions, this condition provides a unique opportunity to study the neural processes underlying speech dysfluencies. Lesion localizations of 20 stroke subjects with neurogenic stuttering and 17 control subjects were compared using voxel-based lesion symptom mapping. The results showed nine left-hemisphere areas associated with the presence of neurogenic stuttering. These areas were largely overlapping with the cortico-basal ganglia-cortical network comprising the inferior frontal cortex, superior temporal cortex, intraparietal cortex, basal ganglia, and their white matter interconnections through the superior longitudinal fasciculus and internal capsule. These results indicated that stroke-induced neurogenic stuttering is not associated with neural dysfunction in one specific brain area but can occur following one or more lesion throughout the cortico-basal ganglia-cortical network. It is suggested that the onset of neurogenic stuttering in stroke subjects results from a disintegration of neural functions necessary for fluent speech.
