Man who developed foreign accent syndrome had never been to Ireland nor had any immediate Irish relatives

Some details of the man’s case, including his own nationality, were not revealed. But researchers said he maintained the Irish accent through about 20 months of treatment, and a gradual onset of paralysis, until his death.

“Despite chemotherapy, his neuroendocrine prostate cancer progressed resulting in multifocal brain metastases and a likely paraneoplastic ascending paralysis leading to his death.” Some who have developed FAS regain their original accent, either spontaneously or through intensive speech therapy, while for others the change is permanent.
