Hemorrhagic Stroke

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding into the brain tissue. This bleeding damages brain cells and disrupts normal brain function. Common causes include high blood pressure, aneurysms, or injury. Symptoms often include sudden weakness, paralysis, severe headache, confusion, and loss of coordination. It requires immediate medical attention because rapid treatment can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes. Unlike ischemic strokes caused by blockages, hemorrhagic strokes involve bleeding, making management and treatment approach different.
