    Abstract:
    A complex study including neurologic, psychologic, neurophysiologic and EEG investigation of 33 stutter patients was performed to determine pathogenetic mechanisms of stutter. All clinical data obtained were presented by means of structural schemes based on topical diagnosis. All the symptoms were divided into blocks containing information about functional state of separate CNS structures and systems, character and degree of observed deviation. The analysis of obtained results permits to consider dysfunction of hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal system under emotional stress as a cause of stutter. Peculiarities of the neurohumoral regulatory system development determine both age and sex specificity of the considered syndrome.
