Síndrome del acento extranjero secundario a resección de glioblastoma; reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Foreign accent syndrome is a speech disorder where the person articulates their native language with an accent that is perceived as non-native. It is characterized by contrasting segmental and prosodic deficits in normal phonological parameters without violating grammatical rules. Until 2015 there were only 105 reported cases: mostly English related cases. We present the case of a Spanish user, who after a tumor resection, presents a foreign accent syndrome of neurogenic origin, with subsequent review of the topic and complementary multimedia material.
