Perfil neuropsicológico de paciente con lesión frontoparietal por meningioma atípico grado II recidivante.

The objective of this study was to describe the neuropsychological profile of a 54-year-old female patient with a 5-year clinical history of a frontoparietal lesion due to recurrent atypical grade II meningioma. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using a single-case design, in which the patient's cognitive, affective, and functional components were evaluated. The results revealed a profile with dysexecutive characteristics due to deficits in auditory working memory, verbal and graphic fluency, attention, processing speed, and prolonged response times caused by an overexertion of inhibition; in addition, delays and difficulties in tactile recognition and impairments in visuoconstructional praxis tasks were identified. The strengths of the profile were centered on abstraction, planning, cognitive flexibility, and problem-solving. This study highlights the importance of further analyzing the implications of the neoplasm at cognitive, emotional, and functional levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
