Home :: Family Health :: Cerebral Haemorrhage Cerebral Haemorrhage - Cerebral Haemorrhage symptom, treatment, causes
Cerebral Haemorrhage is the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, usually an artery weakened by congenital aneurysm (a dilation in the wall of a blood vessel) arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arterial walls). Cerebral haemorrhage is one of the three causes of stroke. Temporary or permanent damage to the nearby brain tissue may follow the rupture because of the pressure of the leaked blood, causing partial or complete paralysis of certain parts of the body and other signs of disturbed brain function, such as altered consciousness, speech or vision disturbances, or seizures. A cerebral hemorrhage is a bleed into the substance of the cerebrum. A person who survives may be left with permanent disabilities, depending on the location and severity of the brain damage. Cerebral haemorrhage is commonly referred to as a type of stroke. A sudden, severe headache is common in hemorrhagic stroke, and is especially indicative of that if accompanied by stiff neck, facial pain, pain between the eyes, vomiting, or altered consciousness. Most cases occur in children under the age of two years. Sometimes, cerebral haemorrhages are caused by congenital weaknesses in the walls of the blood vessels. In approximately one third of cases, the cause is unknown. Cerebral haemorrhage results in a collection of blood, which clots, putting pressure on nearby brain tissue and restricting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. Without reversal, this may cause permanent brain damage. A major risk factor for haemorrhagic stroke is long-standing high blood pressure (hypertension) that weakens the walls of blood vessels, which then may split under the pressure. Due to their life-threatening nature, cerebral hemorrhages require immediate neurosurgical evaluation and intervention. Neurosurgeons use specialized examinations for cerebral hemorrhage patients, such as the Hunt and Hess scale, that can help determine the appropriate treatment. Causes of Cerebral haemorrhageThe common causes and risk factor's of Cerebral haemorrhage include the following:
Symptoms of Cerebral haemorrhageSome sign and symptoms related to Cerebral haemorrhage are as follows:
Treatment of Cerebral haemorrhageHere is list of the methods to treat Cerebral haemorrhage:
Diagnosis of HaemorrhageCerebral Haemorrhage Diagnosis is by CAT scanning. If the haemorrhage is from a ruptured aneurysm, surgical repair ofthe artery may be possible. If arteriosclerosis is the cause treatment to gradually reduce the blood pressure will help to lessen the risk of recurrent bleeding.
