A US cancer patient developed an “uncontrollable” Irish accent in a possible neurological disorder triggered by his immune system, according to researchers who studied the medical oddity.
He came down with a bad case of blarney.
The unnamed man in his 50s was being treated for prostate cancer by doctors from Duke University in Durham, NC, when he began speaking in an “Irish brogue accent” for the first time in his life, according to a report published in the January issue of“His accent was uncontrollable, present in all settings and gradually became persistent,” according to the report, which was co-authored by researchers from Carolina Urologic Research Center in South Carolina.
The man’s cancer-fighting agents likely attacked parts of his brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves or muscle, causing the foreign accent syndrome, according to the report. “To our knowledge, this is the first case of FAS described in a patient with prostate cancer and the third described in a patient with malignancy,” the report states.
