I have a client this semester at a hospital that appears to neurogenic stuttering; however, her disfluencies are not at all similiar to those of developmental stuttering. She has very consistent dysrhythmic speech characterized by initial sound prolongations. She has other symptoms consistent with those of a CVA; however, no neurological insult can be identified on any brain images (CAT scan, MRI, etc). She suffers from severe migranes and had an episode of migranes prior to her sudden change in speech fluency. Have you ever heard of migranes causing neurogenic stuttering?
