Cerebral hemorrhage is difficult to determine on one’s own, and a medical professional needs to determine whether a patient has a cerebral hemorrhage through three aspects: medical history, symptomatic manifestations, and auxiliary examinations.
1. Medical history: If there is a history of hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and other underlying diseases, the risk of cerebral hemorrhage will increase.
2. Symptoms: Most of the patients suddenly start to suffer from the disease when they are active or emotionally excited, which can be manifested as headache, dizziness, slurred speech, limb weakness, nausea, projectile vomiting, and even paralysis of limbs, loss of consciousness, and so on.
3. Auxiliary examination: Cranial CT can quickly and accurately determine whether the patient has brain hemorrhage, as well as the location of the hemorrhage, the amount of hemorrhage and the damage to the surrounding tissues. Cranial MRI can also be performed to help clarify the cause of cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, angiography, such as CTA or DSA, can clarify whether the cause is a vascular malformation, such as an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation.
It is recommended that patients with suspected cerebral hemorrhage seek prompt medical attention and be actively diagnosed and treated under the guidance of a physician to avoid delays.
