What do we know about Foreign Accent Syndrome? – Letter to the Editor Authors Javeria Saquib Dow Medical College, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan Farea Ahmed Dow Medical College, Baba-e-Urdu Road, Karachi Roha Saeed Memon Dow Medical College, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan Admin DOI: https://doi.org/10.47391/JPMA.557 Abstract Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is a speech disorder with sudden changes in speech patterns resulting in affected people perceived to have a new non-native accent. Characteristic changes in language concluded in interviews provide some initial insight into the syndrome.1 The control group (without disorders) had normal speech and grammar, patients with language-speech disorders faced difficulty in speaking whereas FAS patients were labelled ‘foreign’ due to frequent hesitation, slow speech, inappropriate grammar and word selection.1 A great deal of time has been dedicated to understanding FAS, however, a varied patient presentation and underlying pathophysiology has led to difficulties in diagnosing the disorder and evaluating its true epidemiology.
