Cerebral hemorrhage is clinically also known as seizure onset. Patients can be treated with medications to relieve intracranial pressure. Once intracranial pressure is controlled, the frequency of seizures also decreases. Secondly, after effective control of seizures, patients need to continue taking antiepileptic drugs, including oral formulations and injections. After one year without seizures, we consider gradually reducing the medication dosage until complete discontinuation. Therefore, most seizures caused by cerebral hemorrhage can be controlled. In a very small number of patients, refractory seizures may occur, requiring surgical intervention.
