What to do if a child has a brain hemorrhage

Cerebral hemorrhage in children must first be examined for a clear cause. Because children’s cerebral hemorrhage is mostly caused by congenital intracranial vascular malformation. Once a brain hemorrhage occurs, it is necessary to immediately seek medical treatment and improve the head CT examination to clarify the diagnosis. The next step is to improve the cerebral angiography examination to clarify the lesion site. If it is caused by a vascular malformation, craniotomy is required to remove the diseased blood vessel, and interventional therapy may also be considered. For patients with cerebral herniation, admission to the hospital requires immediate extraventricular drainage or craniotomy to find the site of the lesion in order to relieve the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Early rehabilitation is required in the later stages if limb dysfunction is present.
