n. bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain
Wikipedia
A cerebral hemorrhage (also spelled haemorrhage) is a type of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs within the brain tissue. It can be caused by brain trauma, or it can occur spontaneously in hemorrhagic stroke. Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (or hemorrhagic stroke) is a spontaneous bleeding into the brain tissue because of rupture of blood vessels that may be caused by high blood pressure, amyloidosis, or structural weakness of blood vessel walls (aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations).
A cerebral hemorrhage is an intra-axial hemorrhage; that is, it occurs within, rather than outside, the brain tissue. The other category of intracranial hemorrhage is extra-axial hemorrhage, such as epidural, subdural, and subarachnoid hematomas, which all occur within the skull but outside of the brain tissue. There are two main kinds of intra-axial hemorrhages: intraparenchymal hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhages. As with other types of hemorrhages within the skull, intraparenchymal bleeds are a serious medical emergency because they can increase intracranial pressure, which if left untreated can lead to coma and death. The mortality rate for intraparenchymal bleeds is over 40%.
