Brain Bleeding
Cerebral hemorrhage is
uncontrolled bleeding that can occur in the space between the
membrane surrounding the brain and this membrane. This bleeding can
occur as a result of injury or a leaking, bursting blood vessel.
Bleeding can occur when a blood vessel becomes too weak to withstand
the pressure of blood flowing through its wall.
What Causes Brain Bleeding?
The most common cause of brain hemorrhage is high blood pressure. However, high blood pressure can weaken the artery walls and
cause them to rupture. Then, blood collects in the brain and creates the symptoms of a stroke. Other causes of brain hemorrhage
include an aneurysm (a weak spot in an artery wall) and then the balloons can pop out and break open. from birth
emerging arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and abnormal connections between arteries and veins; It can cause brain hemorrhage later in life. In certain cases, in people with cancer who have developed a distant spread of the original cancer to their brain (metastatic disease), brain hemorrhages may develop in parts of cancer where the cancer has spread. Hemorrhagic stroke, especially in elderly individuals, occurs when protein deposits along blood vessels weaken the vessel wall.
Drug use can weaken blood vessels and cause bleeding in the brain. In addition, some prescription drugs can
increase the risk of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Several factors can cause a brain hemorrhage. These factors are
Head trauma or injury: A common cause of cerebral hemorrhage in people under 50 is trauma and injury.
High blood pressure: High blood pressure can weaken blood vessel walls over a long period. High blood pressure must be treated so that it does not trigger a cerebral hemorrhage.
Aneurysm: It occurs as a result of the weakening of the blood vessel wall by swelling. Aneurysms can burst and bleed into the brain, causing a stroke.
Blood vessel abnormalities (Arteriovenous malformations): Congenital weakness in the brain and surrounding blood vessels may be present. Cases of these conditions can only be diagnosed when symptoms develop.
Amyloid angiopathy: This condition is an abnormality of blood vessel walls that occurs with aging and high blood pressure. It can occur with small unnoticed bleeding and change to large bleeding.
Blood or bleeding disorders: The conditions of hemophilia (inability of the blood to clot) and sickle cell anemia (reduction of red blood cells) can contribute to the reduction of platelets and clotting. Blood thinners are also a risk factor.
Liver disease: This condition is often linked to an increased bleeding rate.
