This paper presents perspective on cognitive rehabilitation in the patient who was in receipt of rehabilitation management after surgical treatment for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) refers to bleeding in the middle of the brain and tissue covering the head. It is a medical emergency. The severe cure of aSAH is prominent but less is identified about the enduring repercussions of aSAH on mental and daily life. It is a serious neurological condition. Besides its physical effects on the body, it also affects the cognitive and neuropsychological functions of a person. In this study, we try to understand the effects of cognitive rehabilitation in aSAH patient. An Indian male of 50 years was referred to neuropsychology Outpatient Department (OPD) after the conservative management where his first neuropsychological evaluation took place, and his scores were recorded. The effects of cognitive rehabilitation were further studied through evaluation. It was found that rehabilitation has a positive effect on the patient and leads to an improvement in his cognition.
