What Are the Causes of Intracerebral Hemorrhage?
Brain hemorrhage means bleeding into the brain due to the rupture of one of the vessels inside the brain. When bleeding occurs, the brain, which is located inside the skull and enclosed in a non-flexible structure, is exposed to the pressure created by the accumulating blood, becomes compressed, and as a result, extremely serious and life-threatening conditions such as coma may occur.
Causes of Brain Hemorrhage
The most common brain hemorrhages may occur due to abnormalities related to the vascular structure, spontaneously, or due to causes such as high blood pressure or trauma.
Trauma-related brain hemorrhages are quite common. They occur as a result of a blow to the skull and cause bleeding.
There are also hemorrhages caused by abnormalities in the brain vessels. Other types of hemorrhage are those that occur within the brain tissue itself and develop as a result of structural disorders of the brain or tumors.
Symptoms of Brain Hemorrhage
- nausea
- vomiting
- headache
- drowsiness or inability to move any part of the body,
- impaired consciousness
- tendency to sleep, facial drooping
- symptoms such as affected speech may occur.
Treatment of Brain Hemorrhage
Brain hemorrhage definitely requires medical supervision. Treatment varies depending on whether coma develops or not. In patients who do not develop coma, the likelihood of returning to life with surgical intervention is high.
