Recent case reports have implicated subtentorial lesions of the brainstem or cerebellum as part of the neurocognitive circuitry. ⋯ Cognitive impairment is a common sequel of isolated subtentorial stroke. The frequency of impairment is similar either because of isolated brainstem or isolated cerebellar infarct, and similar to cognitive impairment with cerebral hemispheric lesions. Frontal networks or metacognition is the most frequently involved domain.
