Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in or around the brain. While less common than Ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes are more deadly. There are two main types of hemorrhagic strokes, each named for the respective part of the brain affected by the hemorrhage.
|
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
An acute condition that occurs when blood leaks into the fluid surrounding the brain. Aneurysms and head trauma are the most frequent causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Refers to a hemorrhage caused by rupture of small vessels within the brain. The most common cause is poorly controlled
blood pressure.
