Introduction
The classic triad of internal capsule hemorrhage generally includes contralateral sensory disturbance, hemiplegia, and hemianopia. Contralateral sensory disturbance is usually caused by conditions such as intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, impairing the patient's ability to normally perceive external stimuli in the limbs. Patients may require treatment with medications such as mecobalamin dispersible tablets or vinpocetine injection, as prescribed by a physician. Therefore, it is recommended that family members provide proper care and maintain the patient's personal hygiene.
The classic triad of internal capsule hemorrhage generally includes contralateral sensory disturbance, hemiplegia, and hemianopia. The details are as follows:
1. Contralateral Sensory Disturbance
Contralateral sensory disturbance is usually caused by conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, impairing the patient's ability to normally perceive external stimuli in limbs. Patients may need to take medications such as mecobalamin dispersible tablets or vinpocetine injection according to medical advice.
2. Hemiplegia
Hemiplegia refers to paralysis of one upper and lower limb following damage to the central nervous system of the brain. It may be caused by diseases such as brain tumors or stroke. Patients often present with additional symptoms such as slurred speech and difficulty swallowing. Treatment typically involves medications like eperisone hydrochloride tablets or baclofen tablets, as prescribed by a physician.
3. Hemianopia
Hemianopia refers to partial loss of visual field in one or both eyes, which may result from conditions such as carotid artery aneurysm or pituitary tumor. Diagnosis can be made through tests including intraocular pressure measurement and orbital CT scan. Once confirmed, the underlying cause should be identified and treated accordingly.
Patients with the triad of internal capsule hemorrhage may have difficulties with self-care in daily life. Therefore, it is recommended that family members provide proper nursing care and help maintain personal hygiene.
