Cognitive impairment in cerebellar stroke patients is common, with deficits most pronounced for visuo-spatial skills and executive functioning, as in line with the Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome. The course of cognitive performance was heterogenous, with cognitive decline despite the fact that no recurrent strokes occurred. No clear association between lesion location and cognitive deficits was observed. Subjective cognitive complaints and fatigue were prevalent and positively correlated. Clinicians could use this information to actively screen for and better inform patients about possible cognitive sequalae.
