Sequelae after hemorrhage from vascular malformations manifest as different sequelae mainly depending on the site of malformation bleeding, such as simple subarachnoid hemorrhage or large brain tissue hemorrhage. Each site is also related to the bleeding rate and bleeding volume.
1. Simple subarachnoid hemorrhage: generally the bleeding volume is small and the bleeding rate is slow, which usually does not cause adverse sequelae.
2. Cerebral hemorrhage: The rate of cerebral hemorrhage is similarly slow, but can lead to different degrees of sequelae depending on where it occurs.
(1) Hemorrhage in basal ganglia or functional areas may lead to unilateral hemiparesis, hemianopsia, hemianopsia, and hemiplegia.
(2) Hemorrhage on the side of the dominant hemisphere can lead to speech dysfunction.
(3) Cerebellar hemorrhage can cause patients to walk unsteadily and have increased muscle tone.
(4) Ventricular hemorrhage is prone to hydrocephalus, leading to memory loss and diaphoresis.
Active exercise during the postoperative rehabilitation period for patients with cerebral hemorrhage is essential for the recovery of daily function.
