@entity195 ( @entity195 ) is commonly associated with marked @entity2414 ; however, nonamnestic variants have been consistently described as well. @entity194 ( @entity194 ) is a progressive @entity179 in which posterior regions of the brain are predominantly affected, therefore resulting in a pattern of distinctive and marked @entity1109 , such as @entity1742 , @entity5545 , and @entity1057 . Despite the growing number of studies on @entity227 , intervention studies remain relatively sparse. Current pharmacological treatments offer modest efficacy. Also, there is a scarcity of complementary nonpharmacological interventions with only two previous studies of @entity194 . Here we describe a highly educated 57-year-old @entity1 diagnosed with a visual variant of @entity195 who participated in a cognitive intervention program (comprising reality orientation, cognitive stimulation, and cognitive training exercises). Neuropsychological assessment was performed across moments (baseline, postintervention, follow-up) and consisted mainly of @entity227 . Baseline neuropsychological assessment showed deficits in perceptive and @entity227 , learning and memory, and temporal orientation. After neuropsychological rehabilitation, we observed small improvements in the @entity1 's cognitive functioning, namely in verbal memory, attention, and psychomotor abilities. This study shows evidence of small beneficial effects of cognitive intervention in @entity194 and is the first report of this approach with a highly educated @entity1 in a moderate stage of the disease. Controlled studies are needed to assess the potential efficacy of cognition-focused approaches in these @entity1 , and, if relevant, to grant their availability as a complementary therapy to pharmacological treatment and visual aids.
