What are the symptoms of a minor cerebral hemorrhage?

Patients with mild cerebral hemorrhage may also experience some movement or language disorders, which is the most common symptom. Half of the patients do not experience symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, and impaired consciousness. These symptoms must be taken seriously when they occur.

1. Movement and language disorders

The most common movement disorder is hemiplegia; the most common speech disorder is aphasia and slurred speech.

2. Vomiting

About half of the patients experience vomiting, which may be related to increased intracranial pressure, vertigo, and irritation of the meninges by blood during cerebral hemorrhage.

3. Impairment of consciousness

It manifests as drowsiness or coma, the degree of which is related to the location, amount and speed of cerebral hemorrhage. Large amounts of bleeding in deep parts of the brain within a short period of time will most likely result in impaired consciousness.

4. Eye symptoms

Anisocoria often occurs in patients with increased intracranial pressure; there may also be hemianopsia and eye movement disorders. For example, patients with cerebral hemorrhage often stare at the bleeding side of the brain with both eyes during the acute phase.

5. Headache and dizziness

Headache is the first symptom of cerebral hemorrhage, often located on the side of the head with bleeding; when there is increased intracranial pressure, the pain can spread to the entire head. Dizziness often accompanies headache, especially when bleeding occurs in the cerebellum or brain stem.
