Zusammenfassung
Ein 62-jähriger Patient wies als Folge eines rechtsseitigen ischämischen Kleinhirninfarktes (PICA-Stromgebiet) alltagsrelevante neuropsychologische Defizite auf. Diese umfassten schwerpunktmäßig Exekutivfunktionen und visuell-räumliche Gedächtnisleistungen; darüber hinaus bestanden affektive und Verhaltensauffälligkeiten sowie linguistische Besonderheiten. Anhand dieser Kasuistik wird die Literatur zu dem klinischen Bild des so genannten zerebellären kognitiv-affektiven Syndroms zusammenfassend dargestellt und kritisch diskutiert.
Summary
Secondary to an ischemic cerebellar lesion in the territory of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), a 62-year-old man suffered relevant neuropsychological dysfunction. This included disturbances of executive functions, impaired visuospatial memory, blunting of affect, inappropriate behaviour, and linguistic difficulties. In this case report, we discuss the clinical presentation of so-called cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome.
