The importance of identifying intracranial haemorrhage as a cause of transient focal neurological symptoms

Until recently, there have been no reports of intracerebral haemorrhage pre senting with transient neurological symptoms. We present two cases of intra cerebral haemorrhage presenting as transient ischaemic attacks and discuss the radiological changes on early and late CT scans. It would seem justifie d to scan most patients presenting with TIA early to institute appropriate secondary prevention measures.
