Hemorrhagic stroke in an young patient. Lett sided weakness with left side ICH, not going well. IS IT SUPRATENTORIAL OR INFRATENTORIAL BLEED ??. Needs good clinical evaluation. Ref the Case urgently to The Neurosurgeon to exclude AVM / aneurysm bleed.
Left sided hemorrhage with midline shift Hemorrhage has cause damage to left side. Right side is predominantly unaffected But pressure from hemorrhage of left side is causing midline shift to right side, because of which there is a risk that right side will also get damaged Preservation of right side is of utmost importance Decompression craniectomy on left side will take off pressure in right side, it will help in preservation of right side High blood pressure is most likely cause of hemorrhage, strict and rapid control of blood pressure is necessary
no experiance of treating such a condition with ayurveda medicine. controlling the vitals should be the first step controll hypertension by using godhrut,sutshekar,sarpagnadha ghan vati,shwet parpati etc. using raktastambhak medicine like nagkeshar,praval pishti,kamdudha ras,durva to stop bleeding

? ICH .. ? HEMORRHAGIC STROKE.. NEED'S.. NEUROLOGISTS OPINION FOR FURTHER MANAGEMENT..
Posting ct film would be better Although young hemorrhagic stroke is not uncommon. D/d Hypertensive ich Avm rupture CVT may be due to use of steroid for body building Other causes can be there Pt must be under direct supervision of neurologist

Where is the ct film. Please keep now. If the bleed is small&ganglonic conservative. Big one decompressive craniectomy may be considered.
