A stroke affecting the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) caused significant cognitive and emotional problems in a 62-year-old man. This case highlights the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome, linking cerebellar damage to neuropsychological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Cerebellar lesions can lead to diverse neurological deficits.
  • The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territory is crucial for cerebellar function.
  • Neuropsychological dysfunction following cerebellar ischemia is increasingly recognized.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old male presented with neuropsychological deficits after an ischemic event.
  • The lesion was localized to the territory of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA).
  • Observed deficits included executive dysfunction, visuospatial memory impairment, affective blunting, behavioral changes, and linguistic difficulties.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited a constellation of symptoms consistent with cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome.

  • Executive functions, visuospatial memory, affect, behavior, and language were all impacted.
  • The findings underscore the cerebellum's role in higher-order cognitive and affective processing.

    • Implications:

    • This case emphasizes the importance of considering the cerebellum in the evaluation of cognitive and affective disorders.
    • Understanding cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome can improve diagnosis and patient management.
    • Further research into PICA territory infarcts and associated syndromes is warranted.
