It occurs very rarely. A reliable incidence rate cannot be stated. Neurogenic stuttering occurs much rarely than developmental stuttering does. In my empirical study (2009) I found a prevalence rate of about 550 neurogenic stuttering clients who are treated in institutions for speech and hearing science in Germany each year. Most cases of neurogenic stuttering are due to cerebrovascular disease or head trauma.
