Haemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident accounts for about 10% of all cerebrovascular accidents. Mental status fluctuation is a common feature. The sources of haemorrhage can arise from ruptured intracerebral haemorrhage, arterial venous malformation or congophilic angiopathy. b. What clinical signs may be present on further physical examination? The following signs may be present: • intracerebral haemorrahge can give rise to hypertension and bradycardiac (Cushing’s reflex) due to raised intracranial pressure. • Gerstmann’s syndrome caused by involvement of the dominant angular gyrus. It is characterized by alcalculia (difficulty in calculation), agraphia (difficulty in writing), right/left disorientation and finger agnosia (difficulty in identifying the fingers and naming them).
