Intraventricular haemorrhage
Haemorrhage deep in the cerebral hemisphere may rupture into the ventricular system to cause an intraventricular haematoma. Arteriovenous malformations are commonly involved.
Characteristic features include headache, vomiting, a decreased level of consciousness, and a bilateral Babinski response. Coma deepens, and upper motor neurone signs become more pronounced.
The patients temperature may rise precipitously.
