Stuttering-like hesitation in speech during acute/post-acute phase of immune-mediated encephalitis

ConclusionThis case reports a probable immune-mediated encephalitis that resulted in acquired stuttering. The effect of “slowed” oscillatory brain activity on motor skills requesting sequencing and fine coordination (e.g. speech) could result in less “synchronized” systems, easily prone to disruptions.
