Foreign Accent Syndrome Caused by a Right Frontotemporal Meningioma: A Case Report
This case highlights the complexity of FAS and contributes to the growing evidence that the disorder may result from disruption of distributed cortical and subcortical speech networks, rather than a single anatomical site. Furthermore, it highlights the possibility of persistent deficits even after successful treatment of the underlying structural lesion. These findings emphasize the importance of early recognition, supportive communication strategies, and multidisciplinary care planning, particularly by bedside nurses and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, to address both the neurologic and psychosocial impacts of persistent speech disturbances like FAS.
