WHAT IS CEREBRAL HEMARAGE?
A cerebral haemorrhage is bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Without prompt medical treatment, this can result in death. A person who survives is often left with permanent disabilities, depending on the location and severity of the brain damage. Cerebral haemorrhage is a type of stroke.
It's caused by an artery in the brain bursting and causing localized bleeding in the surrounding tissues. This bleeding kills brain cells.When blood from trauma irritates brain tissues, it causes swelling. This is known as cerebral edema. The pooled blood collects into a mass called a hematoma. These conditions increase pressure on nearby brain tissue, and that reduces vital blood flow and kills brain cells.

Bleeding can occur inside the brain, between the brain and the membranes that cover it, between the layers of the brain's covering or between the skull and the covering of the brain.
