Abstract
The most common cause of the cerebellar syndrome is acute cerebellitis. The motor disorders stand out in this syndrome. However, there are other symptoms apart from these. The patients presented below show, besides motor disorders, cognitive affective signs such as attention deficit, personality changes, etc. All these latter manifestations form the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome. Despite having an uncommon diagnosis, it is a frequent complication. These cases prove the importance of diagnosing this syndrome to enhance the patient’s life quality by providing adequate treatment.
