What are the sequelae of right parieto-occipital cerebral hemorrhage?

The sequelae of right parieto-occipital lobe brain hemorrhage are determined by the size of the hemorrhage. If the right parieto-occipital lobe hemorrhage is very small, there may not be obvious sequelae after active treatment. Because the occipital lobe is the visual center, if it is a medium amount of hemorrhage, occipital lobe hemorrhage may have visual field defects, blurred vision, diplopia, dizziness, and unsteady walking. Patients with parietal lobe hemorrhage are at risk of developing sensory deficits in the parietal lobe, such as limb numbness, limb hemiparesis, blindness in the lower quadrant on the opposite side of the lesion, and in some patients, focal epilepsy, or persistent status epilepticus. In the case of non-dominant hemisphere involvement, some other patients may develop a range of other symptoms such as dysarthria. If the amount of cerebral hemorrhage in the occipito-parietal lobe is relatively large, patients may be left with more serious sequelae, such as limb hemiparesis and the need for bed rest.
