Intracranial Hemorrhage Treatment in India
About Intracranial Hemorrhage
Key Highlights
-
Emergency intervention to save life and preserve brain function.Multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, and critical care teams.Aims to stop active bleeding and reduce damaging pressure on the brain.Can prevent secondary complications like brain herniation and permanent disability.Utilizes advanced imaging (CT, MRI) for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who is this surgery for?
- Sudden, severe headache (often described as "the worst headache of my life").
- Neurological deficits such as sudden weakness, numbness, or paralysis, typically on one side of the body.
- Difficulty speaking, understanding speech, or confusion.
- Vision problems, dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination.
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of consciousness.
- Seizures with no prior history.
- Diagnosis via CT scan confirming bleeding within the skull.
How to prepare
- Emergency Preparation: Immediate transport to a hospital emergency department, ideally a stroke center.
- Medical Stabilization: Rapid assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs).
- Diagnostic Imaging: Urgent non-contrast CT scan of the head to confirm hemorrhage and locate the bleed.
- Medical History: Quick review of patient's medications (especially blood thinners), allergies, and past medical history.
- Informed Consent: For any surgical procedure, risks and benefits are urgently discussed with the patient or family.
Risks & possible complications
- Brain damage leading to permanent neurological deficits (paralysis, speech problems, cognitive impairment).
- Increased intracranial pressure causing brain herniation, which can be fatal.
- Re-bleeding or expansion of the initial hemorrhage.
- Hydrocephalus (build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain).
- Seizures.
- Infections, such as meningitis or surgical site infections if surgery is performed.
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism).
- Complications from prolonged hospitalization (pneumonia, bedsores).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital Stay (ICU/Neuro-ICU): Close monitoring of neurological status, blood pressure, and vital signs.
- Rehabilitation: Early involvement of physical, occupational, and speech therapists to regain function.
- Medication Management: Strict control of blood pressure, medications to prevent seizures, and management of swelling.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Counseling on risk factor management (hypertension control, smoking cessation).
- Long-term Follow-up: Regular neurological check-ups and imaging to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence.
-
Typical hospital stay:
7-21 days (highly variable)
-
Expected recovery time:
3-6 months to over a year (for maximum possible recovery)

Anjali Sharma, a 37-year-old software developer...
Anjali Sharma, a 37-year-old software developer and marathon runner, was in peak health until she collapsed with a seizure during a team meeting. She had no memory of the event. Colleagues reported she had complained of a worsening headache for two days. An MRI revealed an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that had bled, causing a small intracranial hemorrhage. Her neurologist, Dr. Singh, outlined the risks of future, potentially catastrophic bleeds and recommended a course of focused stereotactic radiosurgery to gradually close off the abnormal vessels of the AVM. For Anjali, the diagnosis was a shocking betrayal by her own body. The non-invasive treatment itself was painless, but the waiting was agonizing. She lived with anxiety for months, fearing another bleed before the radiation took full effect. She had to give up contact sports and long-distance running, a core part of her identity. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster of fear, frustration, and gradual acceptance. Follow-up scans over two years showed successful obliteration of the AVM. While she can't run marathons, she now hikes and practices yoga, channeling her discipline into a new, profound appreciation for her health and a commitment to mentoring young women in STEM.
