Brain Hemorrhage
What is a brain hemorrhage?
It is a stroke-like condition that results from bursting blood vessels in the brain.
Some initial insult–such as a sudden blow to the head or the collapse of a chronically weakened blood vessel–leads to the spilling of blood into the brain, killing tissues and disrupting normal neurological functioning.
What are some symptoms of brain hemorrhage?
Symptoms depend on the person, the nature and severity of the hemorrhage and other factors. Typically, a brain hemorrhage victim may experience:
- severe and near instant headache
- nausea and vomiting
- numbness or paralysis
However, some hemorrhage victims – particularly ones who experience a slower hemorrhage – may not experience any of these symptoms acutely.
What causes brain hemorrhage?
A variety of factors can cause or exacerbate this condition, such as:
- damage to the vascular system
- genetic malfunctions with a gene known as Cystetic-C gene
- hypertension
- traumatic brain injury
How is BH diagnosed and treated?
- Brain scanning devices, such as CAT scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can be used to identify what part of the brain is hurt and how the damage has spread.
- Microsurgery and interventional radiology can be used to repair damage.
- The range of BH outcomes is enormous:
- Some hemorrhage victims die instantly.
- Others are paralyzed or severely incapacitated for life.
- Still others recover nearly all functionality with good treatment and luck.
