It can affect any person regardless of age, sex, or race. Of the deep structures, intracerebral hemorrhage that is not caused by trauma most commonly occurs in the basal ganglia. In some cases, no cause can be found. Both cerebral edema and the presence of a hematoma within the brain will place increasing pressure on the brain tissues and eventually destroy them. Symptoms will vary depending on the extent of damage and the location of the bleed.
Symptoms vary depending on the location of the bleed and the amount of brain tissue affected.
Symptoms most commonly develop suddenly, without warning, often during activity. They may be episodic or develop in a progressively worsening manner in some cases. Signs And Tests Neuromuscular examination may indicate increased intracranial pressure or decreases in specific brain functions. The specific pattern of symptoms and function changes may indicate which of the deep brain tissues are affected. For example, sudden nausea , vomiting , loss of balance , headache , and rapid decrease in consciousness may indicate a bleed in the cerebellum.
