A brain haemorrhage is a type of stroke. It is essentially a condition which is caused when an artery in brain bursts and causes uncontrolled bleeding – it could be within the brain or anywhere between the brain and skull.
Based on its location, there are different types of brain haemorrhages which are categorised as subdural haemorrhage, extradural haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage and intracerebral haemorrhage. However, subdural and extradural
Haemorrhages are the most common types and they cause further brain damage which can lead to some long-term side-effects.
The symptoms of a brain haemorrhage may vary based on the location of bleeding in the brain and the amount of tissue affected due to the severity of bleeding. However, some of the common symptoms are as follows:
The diagnosis of brain haemorrhage depends on the severity of the condition and symptoms experienced by an individual. This usually is done through an MRI, CT Scan or one of the methods mentioned below:
In the case of intracerebral haemorrhage, minimally invasive surgery is the safest option as it aids in the removal of clot without craniotomy. However, in some cases, traditional surgery may be required to drain out the excess blood in the brain or repair damaged blood cells.
This is a procedure where the surgeon removes a tumour or a blood clot through a port or a channel. As compared to traditional surgery, this method causes lesser complications, fewer scars and has a quicker recovery time.
