Abstract

Persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) has been treated by speech and language and psychotherapy with limited success. We report the case of a 69-year-old with PDS since the age of five. A left perisylvian meningioma was successfully resected following investigation for generalised seizure. Spontaneous significant improvement in stuttering after surgery in the perisylvian area to the best of our knowledge has not been reported.
