Overview

History and symptoms

History

It is critical to obtain a detailed and focused history.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

History Comments
Timing of the symptoms onset
  • The time the patient was last normal
Initial symptoms
  • The progression of symptoms
Vascular risk factors
Medications
Recent trauma or surgery
Dementia
Alcohol or illicit drug use
  • Cocaine
  • Other sympathomimetic drugs
Liver disease
Cancer and hematologic disorders

Symtoms

It is impossible to know whether symptoms are due to ischemia or hemorrhage based on clinical characteristics alone. The abrupt onset of focal neurologic symptoms is presumed to be vascular in origin.

Non specific symptoms of hemorrhagic stroke may include the following:[7][8]
