Communication deficits resulting from aphasia can negatively impact stroke survivors’ social life. It has been reported that patients with severe non-fluent aphasia are better at singing lyrics than speaking the same words. Based on lesion studies, it is generally proposed that the right hemisphere is dominant especially for melody production. We present a 28-year-old woman with non-fluent aphasia as the result of a left hemisphere ischemic stroke involving mainly the superior division of the middle cerebral artery, and classified as having Broca’s aphasia. She was taken into melodic intonation therapy with speech therapy. Singing is accessible and enjoyable for many people with aphasia and melodic intonation therapies may facilitate recovery in such non-fluent aphasic patients.

Clinical lycanthropy is defined as a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves a delusion that the affected person can transform into, has transformed into, or is a non-human animal. Its name is connected to the mythical supranatural stories of lycanthropy, in which humans are said to physically shape shift into wolves. According to suggested diagnostic criteria for lycanthropy, either a delusional belief in current or past transformation or behavior that suggests a person thinks of himself as transformed is considered evidence of clinical lycanthropy. Hereby we present a case of clinical lycanthropy in a male patient reporting moments of feeling himself as a wolf and behaving in a manner that resembles wolf behavior, for example howling and growling.
