Abstract

Although epilepsy symptoms are well established, there are only several described cases of post seizure speech fluency impairments. Epileptic activity may interfere with speech but speech impairments have the ability to recover because of neural plasticity that has been widely investigated in epilepsy popula- tion. In the available literature there is only one case report of transient neurogenic stuttering de- scribed. In this case report we describe a recovery of a 33-year-old male patient with recurrent transient neurogenic stuttering after focal idiopathic seizures due to functional neuroplasticity.
