Intracranial Hemorrhage

Intracranial hemorrhage refers to bleeding that occurs inside the skull, which can happen in the brain or surrounding areas. This bleeding can result from trauma, such as a fall or accident, or from medical conditions like high blood pressure or aneurysms. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, weakness, or seizures. Such bleeding can increase pressure in the skull, potentially leading to serious complications. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial, often involving imaging tests like CT scans and possible surgical intervention to manage the bleeding and prevent further damage to the brain.
