Overview

Physical examination

Physical examination should include:[1][2][3][4]

Physical examination of patients with Intracerebral hemorrhage is usually varies based on the location of the bleeding.[4]

Locations Physical examination
Putamenal hemorrhage
Thalamic hemorrhage General signs:
Behavioural patterns based on the four main arterial thalamic territories:
Pontine hemorrhage
Cerebellar hemorrhage
Lobar hemorrhage The signs vary depending on the location of the hemorrhage:
  • Acute neurological deterioration
  • Decreased GCS
  • Seizure
  • Contralateral homonymous hemianopsia (occipital hemorrhage)
  • Contralateral plegia/paresis of the leg with relative sparing of the arm (frontal hemorrhage)
