Abstract

The hemorrhagic stroke, which accounts for 15% of all cases of stroke, represents the most devastating form of neurological disorder with the mortality approaching 70% at the end of one year. The hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding directly into or around the brain. Depending upon the location, it can take the form of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) when the bleeding occurs in the brain substance, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) when the bleed occurs in subarachnoid space or intraventricular bleed (IVH) where the ventricles are involved. It causes the neurological symptoms by producing a mass effect on neural structures, from toxic effects of blood itself or by increasing the intracranial pressure (ICP). This chapter covers the intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage along with their causes, symptoms and signs, investigation, and management.
