What is subcortical hemorrhage?

Subcortical hemorrhage refers to bleeding in the subcortical region of the brain. Causes include hereditary abnormalities of blood vessels in the brain, hypertension, and trauma. It is a type of stroke and is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

  • Weakness on one side of the body

  • Headache

  • Weakness in arms or legs

  • Blurred vision

  • The arm and leg on one side is weaker and harder to move than the other

  • Blind spots or blind areas in vision

Questions your doctor may ask to check for subcortical hemorrhage

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose subcortical hemorrhage

  • Do you feel any numbness or change in sensation?

  • Are you unable to move the left or right side of your body?

  • Do you have headaches or does your head feel heavy?

  • Do you feel any weakness in your arms or legs?

Treatment for subcortical hemorrhage

Subcortical hemorrhage requires immediate medical attention and hospitalization.

Rehabilitation, other therapies, and lifestyle modifications are required.
