title: Acquired stuttering after a second stroke in a two-year-old.
abstract: An almost two-year-old left-handed girl with a history of a left-hemisphere stroke at the age of one year developed a transient stutter with newly acquired white matter infarctions. Her course suggests that developmental stuttering may reflect anomalous dominance and/or atypical interhemispheric connectivity.
