Intracerebral haemorrhage. Section through brain tissue showing an area of bleeding (at left) within the cerebrum. Intracerebral haemorrhage is a principal mechanism by which stroke can occur. This large haemorrhage has caused brain tissue to be compressed and pushed out of shape. The ruptured artery usually results from hyper- tension (high blood pressure) or atherosclerosis (fatty deposits that narrow the arteries). Most incidents occur in the middle-aged or elderly. Symptoms include sudden headache,numbness,speech loss or facial paralysis,to coma and death. Large haemorrhages are usually fatal. Rehabilitation for the survivor is as for any type of stroke | |
