Intracerebral haemorrhage in brain stem - what does this mean
Intracerebral haemorrhage in brain stem occurs when a weakened or damaged artery in the brain stem bursts and bleeds into the surrounding tissue. this can lead to swelling, pressure, and a disruption of blood flow to the brain stem, resulting in a range of neurological symptoms such as paralysis, loss of sensation, difficulty speaking, and difficulty swallowing.
What happens during the disease - intracerebral haemorrhage in brain stem
Intracerebral haemorrhage in the brain stem is caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain stem. this can be due to a number of causes such as hypertension, trauma, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, or other vascular abnormalities. the rupture of the vessel causes a bleed in the brain stem, which can cause a variety of neurological symptoms depending on the location and extent of the bleed. this can include paralysis, coma, or death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- CT scan of the brain
- MRI of the brain
- Angiography of the brain
- Neurological examination
- Cerebrospinal fluid analysis
- Blood tests
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- Evoked potentials
- Neuropsychological testing
- Ultrasound of the brain
- Doppler ultrasound of the brain
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the pressure in the brain stem and reduce the risk of further bleeding.
- Administering medications to reduce blood pressure and control seizures
- Administering anticoagulants to prevent further bleeding
- Performing a craniotomy to remove the clot and reduce pressure in the brain stem
- Performing a ventriculostomy to drain excess fluid from the brain stem
- Performing a shunt procedure to relieve pressure in the brain stem
- Performing a decompressive craniectomy to reduce pressure in the brain stem
- Monitoring the patient's vital signs and neurological status
- Administering antibiotics to prevent infection
- Providing supportive care to reduce the risk of complications
35 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Intracerebral haemorrhage in brain stem - Prevention
Prevention of intracerebral haemorrhage in the brain stem includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy blood pressure, managing diabetes, and avoiding activities that could lead to head injury. additionally, regular check-ups with a physician can help to identify any underlying risk factors that may increase the risk of intracerebral haemorrhage.
