Axial CT scan of a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage
Specialty
Emergency medicine
Symptoms
Same symptoms as ischemic stroke, but unconsciousness, headache, nausea, stiff neck, and seizures are more often in brain hemorrhages than ischemic strokes
Complications
Coma, persistent vegetative state, cardiac arrest (when bleeding is in the brain stem or is severe), death
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), also known as intracranial bleed, is bleeding within the skull.[1] Subtypes are intracerebral bleeds (intraventricular bleeds and intraparenchymal bleeds), subarachnoid bleeds, epidural bleeds, and subdural bleeds.[2]
Intracerebral bleeding affects 2.5 per 10,000 people each year.[1]
