Abstract
The present case report documents the successful rehabilitation of a severely amnesic anterior communicating artery aneurysm patient. The patient was able to return to his premorbid high-level occupation after significant improvement in executive functioning, moderate improvement in visual memory, modest improvement in immediate verbal memory, and minimal improvement in delayed verbal memory. An interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation was utilized in conjunction with empirically based intervention strategies. The implications of improved executive functions versus memory functions for successful rehabilitation are discussed.
