Dr. Guan Yanlei
Patients with intracranial hemorrhage after head trauma must be evaluated based on their actual condition. Some may not develop sequelae, while others may experience cognitive decline, physical and language impairments, or epilepsy. Specifically:
Epilepsy: Some individuals may develop seizures, presenting with abnormal symptoms such as limb convulsions and foaming at the mouth. Therefore, it is recommended to first complete appropriate diagnostic evaluations for a definitive diagnosis.
Physical and language symptoms: Some people may exhibit numbness and weakness in the limbs, such as difficulty walking properly, grasping objects correctly, or speaking clearly.
