Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage treatment in Magdalena Contreras

A deep intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding that occurs within the internal structures of the brain, such as the basal ganglia, the thalamus, or the brainstem, when a blood vessel ruptures and blood accumulates in the brain tissue.

Common symptoms: it usually appears suddenly and may include severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, altered consciousness, or vomiting. The presentation varies depending on the affected area and the amount of blood.

When to seek care? It is a medical emergency; with any of these signs, every minute counts, so it is best to go immediately to an emergency service without waiting for the symptoms to go away on their own.

Who treats it? The neurosurgeon evaluates this type of bleeding and defines the most appropriate management for each case. If you suspect something like this in yourself or someone close to you, the prudent thing is to seek professional care without delay for a careful evaluation.
