Cerebral Haemorrhage

A cerebral haemorrhage is bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain that can be fatal without prompt medical treatment. A person who survives may be left with permanent disabilities, depending on the location and severity of the brain damage. Cerebral haemorrhage is commonly referred to as a type of stroke.

The symptoms of a cerebral haemorrhage vary according to the location and severity of the bleeding, but may include:

• Sudden onset of symptoms
• Weakness
• Clumsiness
• Numbness or pins and needles of the face, arm or leg, usually on one side of the body
• Paralysis on one side of the body
• Slurring speech or difficulty finding words
• Severe headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Drowsiness
• Unconsciousness
• Dizziness
• Difficulty walking or loss of balance
• Confusion
