Intracerebral Hemorrhage
An intracerebral hemorrhage is an intracranial hemorrhage that causes
bleeding inside the brain. An intracerebral hemorrhage is a stroke that
creates blood flow into brain tissue. It occurs when a blood vessel
within the head ruptures. It usually begins suddenly with a
headache and other symptoms of neurological damage such as weakness or
numbness in a body part and progresses rapidly into increased severity
of the symptoms.
A person with any of the above symptoms should be hospitalized as
quickly as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Anyone with
intercerebral hemorrhage has the most dangerous form of stroke which
worsens so quickly that it could be fatal in a few hours if not under a
doctor’s care in a hospital with all the facilities for
treatment. This disorder is much more critical for anyone with
high blood pressure because a large percentage of people in this group
die within a few days. Treatment seeks first to remove blood from
the brain and to minimize pressure. The survivors recover from a coma
and slowly regain some brain function.
A person with a mild stroke of this kind will often have a complete
recovery under proper care and cure of the underlying disease or
condition. Regardless of the treatment, a healthy lifestyle of proper
nutrition and physiotherapy will not only help prevent this calamity,
but almost any other health problem. For more information on a healthy
