Cerebral hemorrhage
Cerebral hemorrhage, or brain bleed, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing blood to leak into surrounding brain tissue. This can result from high blood pressure, aneurysms, or trauma. The bleeding interrupts normal brain function, leading to symptoms like sudden weakness, paralysis, confusion, or loss of coordination. Immediate medical attention is crucial because the bleeding can cause brain damage or be life-threatening. Treatment may involve surgery or medications to control bleeding, reduce pressure, and prevent further damage. Recovery depends on the severity and location of the bleed.
