Classification of Stroke

Brain Hemorrhage

A brain hemorrhage is a stroke resulting from a rupture in a weakened blood vessel in the brain. It accounts for about 15% of stroke.

  • Brain hemorrhage is bleeding in or around the brain due to rupture of blood vessels or an aneurysm.
  • Recovery from brain hemorrhage is very slow.
  • Those who survive a brain hemorrhage may have a broad spectrum of functional sequelae.
