Cessation of stuttering with progressive multiple sclerosis

Aaron E. Miller, MD

From the Division of Neurology, Maimonides Medical Center and Department of Neurology, State University of New York at Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY.

Two patients stuttered severely into adult years. Stuttering ceased as signs of progressive MS developed. Both patients had clinical evidence of bilateral cerebellar dysfunction, and other forms of speech impairment appeared as the stuttering abated. The cerebellar lesions may have been responsible for the abolition of stuttering.
