  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">The objective of this case study was to describe the neuropsychological rehabilitation  of a 16-year-old patient who presented a Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome  (CCAS) following a bilateral cerebellar hemorrhage. The patient presented severe and  diffuse cognitive deficits, massive behavioral disorders, and emotion regulation  difficulties. The cognitive rehabilitation was performed in the chronic phase (one year  after the onset of the hemorrhage) using a transdisciplinary neurobehavioral approach  based on the patient's favorite interest (soccer). A significant behavioral and cognitive  improvement was observed. The patient became progressively independent in all  activities of daily living and was discharged home. The Functional Independence  Measure at discharge was 124/126 (vs. 37/126 at entry). The patient was able to  complete his schooling despite the mild cognitive and behavioral sequelae. This first  description of the use of neurobehavioral therapy in a case of chronic CCAS suggests  that (a) major clinical improvement can occur more than one year after the onset of the  CCAS, showing the importance of long-term and intensive neurorehabilitation; and (b)  when the cerebellum cannot properly play its regulator role in cognition,  neuropsychological intervention through a behavioral and cognitive approach can be of  great help by acting as an external modulator to help the patient regain control over  himself.</dc:description>
