Language impairments caused by left frontal aslant tract (FAT) damage have a good prognosis. However, the prognosis of cognitive dysfunction after right FAT injury is unknown. The present study describes successful rehabilitation for impaired working memory and inattention together with diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). A patient in his 40s acute stroke underwent magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography perfusion scans, DTT, 11 neuropsychological tests attention, lobe, memory, visuospatial, intelligence, functions. Three weeks rehabilitation, including direct attention metacognitive strategy training, visual tasks were performed. DTT assessments compared before rehabilitation. Neuropsychological scores Trail Making Test, Clinical Assessment Attention, Frontal Battery increased step-by-step leading to early reinstatement as system engineer. revealed that posterior segment adjacent lesion its distal branching inferior gyrus. In this case study, three restored while enhancing integrity. Visualizing white matter using phase provides essential insights selecting appropriate training facilitate functional recovery from disturbances.
