Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been ordered to take a month off work after bleeding was found on her brain.
Ms Fernandez, 60, was undergoing medical checks for another condition when the bleeding - a subdural hematoma - was discovered.
Vice-President Amado Boudou is flying back from France to take over her duties.
