Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding directly into the brain tissue. This can damage brain cells and impair functions like movement, speech, and coordination, depending on where the bleeding happens. Common causes include high blood pressure, aneurysms, or certain blood disorders. Symptoms may include sudden headache, weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to minimize brain damage and support recovery.
