Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is having a nice day. I recently found this site and I was wondering if anyone else has lost their ability to speak post brain injury? I was involved in a car accident in September and suffered a coupe-contre-coupe brain injury/concussion After 2 days I lost my ability to speak almost completely, and when able to get words out, they are completely stuttered. I was wondering if anyone else has had such an experience? |

Ayoosh,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. First off, you suffered a concussion. Unless you had a CT Scan that showed bruising on opposite sides of your head, calling your injury a coup contre coup injury is just speculation. Don't let that term define your injury. Bouncing back and forth in the car is not a coup contre coup injury either. That is just multiple impacts. Regarding your speech struggles, many have different levels of speech dysfunction. If you developed these problems a day or 2 after the injury, you should be seen by a doctor. RIGHT AWAY if this speech problem continues or gets worse. It might indicate an injury to your speech motor control system. Until you are seen, ice your upper neck. The 10th and 12th cranial nerve controls the tongue. It comes out of your upper neck. If you have any difficulty swallowing, these nerves would also be suspect. I suffered damage to these nerves and it primarily impacts my ability to swallow. Inflammation in your upper neck could be restricting function.

What do the drs say about the loss of speech and treatment for that? A temporary thing? Any Phys therapy? Usually when head has an impact the neck is traumatized also...soft tissue or micro misalignments can be a factor.. Vertebral Subluxation and Nerve Chart on Meducation

Hello Ayoosh,
Welcome to NeuroTalk Support Groups. A site that I found very valuable when dealing with post concussion syndrome was the Brainline site. I've posted a link below. Traumatic Brain Injury: Cognitive and Communication Disorders | BrainLine What are the cognitive and communication problems that result from traumatic brain injury? Communication Effects After Brain Injury | BrainLine Dysarthria Of course, this may not be the actual condition you are dealing with, but I thought I'd post the information about Dysarthria in case it helps. Dysarthria - National Aphasia Association What is Dysarthria? The subject of "Speech" is discussed. I hope it's not too difficult for you to read it all. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Lara |
