The importance of identifying intracranial haemorrhage as a cause of transient focal neurological symptoms.
Until recently, there have been no reports of intracerebral haemorrhage presenting with transient neurological symptoms. We present two cases of intracerebral haemorrhage presenting as transient ischaemic attacks and discuss the radiological changes on early and late CT scans. It would seem justified to scan most patients presenting with TIA early to institute appropriate secondary prevention measures.
