 Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS) is a neurobehavioral syndrome that may develop after congenital and acquired cerebellar lesions. The syndrome consists of deficits in executive functioning, visuo-spatial memory and language, and also involves personality and behavioral changes. We report on a patient with cerebellar hemorrhage who developed CCAS.

 The patient was a 61-year-old right-handed woman who was hospitalized due to disturbance of consciousness. CT revealed cerebellum bleeding, and after the craniotomy hematoma evacuation, the patient was transferred to our hospital for about 1 month. She showed disturbance of consciousness and severe ataxia of the trunk and the extremities, but no paralysis or disturbance of sensation. The loss of articulation was severe, and communication was impaired. She was unable to fix on time or place and exhibited short-term memory disturbance, attentional disorder, dysexecutive function and affective disturbance. Due to these symptoms, her activities of daily living were severely impaired. In the Functional Independent Measure, motor item was 14, cognitive item was 8 and she needed complete assistance in her daily living. MRI showed a large hemorrhage in the left bilateral cerebellar hemisphere, and a Tc-99m-ECD SPECT revealed hypoperfusion areas in the left cerebellar hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere.

 Cognitive dysfunction in patients with cerebellar damage is assumed to develop from disturbance of the cerebrocerebellar circuit, and that rehabilitation of patients should include assessments of not only the motor function, but also of detailed assessment of neuropsychological and neurobehavioral function.
