Acquired transient stuttering during a migraine attack.
Stuttering is an abnormality in the fluency of speech, which is characterized by interruption of the normal rhythm due to involuntary repetition and prolongation, or arrest, of uttered letters or syllables. The aphasic syndrome and dysarthria can be associated with classic migraine, but, to our knowledge, no study has so far described stuttering as the only neurological symptom accompanying an attack.
