Abstract

This article focuses on a case study of a 17-year-old boy with Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND) presenting as an acute onset of dysfluent, effortful writing without dysgraphia or major neurological injury. FND is characterized by symptoms lacking a known biological cause and often linked to psychological factors, though it remains poorly understood. The patient’s neuropsychological evaluation showed mostly normal performance with mild fine motor impairment, and no psychiatric conditions were identified. The study draws parallels between the patient’s dysfluent writing and stuttering, exploring potential neuroanatomical mechanisms underlying this presentation.
