Neuropsychological deficits may occur in infratentorial strokes. Only minor cognitive disturbances are reported in unilateral anterior cerebellar lesions. Here, the authors describe a patient with bilateral anterior ponto-cerebellar ischemic lesions associated with major neuropsychological deficits. Cerebral PET and SPECT demonstrated no metabolic defect in supratentorial areas.
