This document discusses the pathophysiology of left basal ganglia hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage. It lists precipitating factors like hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and high blood glucose that can cause vasoconstriction and blockage of blood vessels, restricting oxygen and nutrient supply. This decreased cerebral perfusion results in intracerebral bleeding that irritates nerves and tissues, causing signs and symptoms such as changes in movement, weakness, cognitive deficits, headaches, and personality changes.

1. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF LEFT BASAL GANGLIA HEMORRHAGE
(INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE)
Precipitating Factors: Predisposing Factors:
Hypertension Sedentary lifestyle
Hypercholesterolemia Age
High Blood Glucose Level Diet
High T CHON Sex
Heredity
Self-medication
VASOCONSTRICTION
Blood Clot formation
Blockage of the blood vessel
Pressure and brain compression
Lack of oxygen and nutrient supply
Altered Cerebral Perfusion
Signs and Symptoms:
Changes in movement (Ataxia)
Decreased Cerebral Perfusion
Muscle Weakness (difficulty in
swallowing, smiling and talking)
Decreased cognitive function
Intracerebral hemorrhage (Bleeding) Headache, nausea and vomiting
Personality changes: Change in
judgment, confused, difficulty
in understanding what is
Blood irritates the nerves and tissues happening around.
Inappropriate emotional
Responses
Pain and Vomiting; parts of the brain
will shut down; decreased LOC
