	<span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Stroke
is a physiological alteration associated with changes in blood flow that can
result in sudden-onset cognitive impairment. It has a heterogenous clinical
presentation with varying degrees of severity correlated with specific central
nervous system zones or areas, and its prognosis is uncertain. This case study
describes a 62-year-old male patient with acquired brain damage of the anterior
cingulate cortex as a result of an ischemic event in the territory of the left
anterior cerebral artery. Cognitive function was assessed using the
neuropsychological executive function and frontal lobe test battery (BANFE-2)
as well as other neuropsychological tests. The results show a profile of higher
mental functions characterized by the presence of dysexecutive syndrome with marked
behavioral alteration and diencephalic amnesia.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"></span>
