Subarachnoid hemorrhage - Photophobia and neck stiffness
- March 6th, 2009 #2
Mechanism of photophobia is explained here: Photophobia in meningitis. The mechanism is similar in subarachnoid hemorrhage too.
As for neck stiffness, it is related to irritation of meningeal layers by the blood present in the CSF after hemorrhage in the subarachnoid space.
