Intracerebral hemorrhage and stroke (stroke) are not exactly the same concept, but intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke. Stroke is a general term that refers to a sudden problem with the blood vessels in the brain, resulting in impaired blood circulation in the brain, which in turn causes ischemia or hemorrhagic damage to the brain tissue. There are two main types of strokes:

80. Ischemic stroke: It accounts for about 0% of all strokes and is caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain due to the blockage of blood vessels in the brain by blood clots or emboli. Ischemic stroke can be further divided into thrombotic stroke (blood clots form in blood vessels in the brain) and embolic stroke (emboli move from other parts of the body to blood vessels in the brain).

20. Hemorrhagic stroke: It accounts for about 0% of all strokes and is caused by the rupture or leakage of cerebral blood vessels that cause blood to flow into the brain parenchyma or the space around the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke can be divided into two types:

- Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH): refers to bleeding from the rupture of blood vessels within the brain parenchyma.

- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH): This is when blood vessels on the surface of the brain rupture and blood flows into the subarachnoid space, where the cerebrospinal fluid is located.

Features of cerebral hemorrhage

- Suddenness: Patients may experience sudden onset of symptoms such as headaches, impaired consciousness, and limb weakness.

- Rapid progression: The condition may deteriorate rapidly and require urgent treatment.

- Various causes: including high blood pressure, ruptured aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations, cerebrovascular amyloidosis, etc.

therapy

- Ischemic stroke: Treatment may include thrombolytic therapy, mechanical thrombectomy, etc.

- Hemorrhagic stroke: Treatment may include surgery to remove the hematoma, medications to control blood pressure, and prevention of rebleeding.

prophylaxis

- Control high blood pressure: High blood pressure is one of the most common risk factors for stroke.

- Healthy lifestyle: including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, etc.

Symptoms of intracerebral hemorrhage and stroke may be similar, but treatment is different. If you or someone else has symptoms that are suspected of a stroke (such as sudden weakness in one limb, slurred speech, drooping face), call the emergency services and seek medical help immediately.
