Hemorrhagic stroke:
Bleed in the brain or brainstem.
These two are the two types of hemorrhagic (bleed) stroke:
1. Intracerebral hemorrhage: In the "meat" of the brain (cerebrum).
2. Subarachnoid hemorrhage: Between the brain and the meninges (meninges, the layers of "brain wrap" and surround the entire brain).
Approximately 25% of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage die within 24 hours, with or without medical attention.
- Other disorders that involve bleeding inside the skull include epidural hematomas and subdural hematomas, which are usually caused by a head injury. These disorders cause symptoms that sometimes resemble those of a stroke.
