Abstract
Introduction: Stuttering associated with acquired neurological disorders is an acquired disorder of fluency characterized by notable, involuntary repetitions or prolongations of speech that are not the result of language formulation or psychiatric problems. Neurogenic stuttering has been reported following various lesions or degenerative disease conditions and as such does not appear to be associated exclusively with a particular neurological disorder or disruption in any particular brain area.
