According to WebMD, a cerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke. The cause: an artery in the brain bursts and causes local bleeding in the surrounding tissue. Bleeding conditions located in these organs kill brain cells.
A cerebral haemorrhage is also called an intracranial haemorrhage or intracerebral haemorrhage. This medical condition accounts for about 13% of the causes of stroke.
What happens when the brain bleeds? When blood from trauma irritates brain tissue, it causes swelling. This came to be known as cerebral edema.
The pooled blood becomes a hematoma, so this condition will increase the pressure on the nearby brain tissue. As a result, the condition can reduce vital blood flow and kill brain cells.
Bleeding that occurs in the brain can occur between the brain and the membranes that cover it, or between the coverings of the brain or between the skull and the lining of the brain.
