Hemorrhagic stroke-Hemorrhagic stroke involves bleeding within the

brain, which damages nearby brain tissue. A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to part of
the brain is cut off or significantly reduced. Without the oxygen carried by the blood, brain cells
can die very quickly, resulting in lasting damage. Strokes can be major or minor and the
consequences can range from complete recovery to fatality. Immediate medical treatment is
important for the best odds of recovery. Prevention is also important. If you control your risk
factors, you can greatly reduce your odds of having any type of stroke.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and blood accumulates in the
tissue around the rupture. This produces pressure on the brain and a loss of blood to
certain areas.
There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke:
1.) An aneurysm occurs when a section of a blood vessel becomes enlarged from blood
pressure.
2.) Arteriovenous malformation- This occurs when blood vessels are tangled together,
resulting in blood bypassing part of the brain.

Symptoms: Symptoms may include total or limited loss of consciousness, nausea

and vomiting, a sudden and severe headache, and weakness or numb feeling in the
face, leg, or arm.
