Lobar haemorrhage

Authoring team

Lobar haemorrhage may be caused by any of the common agents involved in intracerebral haemorrhage. The clinical presentation is determined by the lobe primarily affected:

  • occipital lobe lesions cause hemianopia and pain around the ipsilateral eye
  • frontal lobe lesions cause behavioural and motor signs, e.g. severe weakness of the contralateral arm
  • parietal lobe lesions cause sensory, cognitive, behavioural disturbances and visual neglect
  • temporal lobe lesions cause aphasia or fluent dysphasia, agitation and incomplete contralateral hemianopia

Headache may be present and localised to the region of the haemorrhage.
