A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding inside or around the brain. The leaking blood increases pressure, damages brain tissue, and disrupts vital functions. Common causes include high blood pressure, aneurysms, trauma, or vascular malformations. Symptoms may appear suddenly and include a severe headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, or loss of consciousness. Diagnosis requires immediate imaging, usually a CT or MRI scan. Treatment may involve surgery or interventional procedures to stop bleeding, relieve pressure, and prevent further complications. Prompt emergency care is critical to reduce brain damage, disability, or death and improve patient outcomes.
Risk factors include long-term high blood pressure, frequent alcohol use, or family history, all significantly raising the likelihood of hemorrhagic stroke.
Immediate treatment limits brain tissue injury, preserving neurological function and preventing severe long-term disability or death.
Quick medical response significantly increases survival rates by controlling bleeding and reducing harmful intracranial pressure buildup.
Early care supports rehabilitation, improving mobility, memory, and speech, while lowering the burden of lifelong complications.
Sudden, intense headache often described as the “worst ever” may indicate bleeding within the brain tissue.
Rapid onset of weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body, may signal hemorrhagic stroke development.
Sudden confusion, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking may occur due to brain tissue compression and oxygen deprivation.
