  2. Intraventricular hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraventricular_hemorrhage

    **Mechanism of Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH)** **Definition** Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) refers to bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced and circulates. IVH can occur in both neonates and adults, but the mechanisms differ based on age and underlying causes. --- **1.

  3. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Intraparenchymal hemorrhage is one form of intracerebral bleeding in which there is bleeding within brain parenchyma. The other form is intraventricular hemorrhage). [1] Intraparenchymal hemorrhage accounts for approximately 8-13% of all strokes and results from a wide spectrum of disorders.

  4. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), also known as hemorrhagic stroke, is a sudden bleeding into the tissues of the brain (i.e. the parenchyma), into its ventricles, or into both. [3] [4] [1] An ICH is a type of bleeding within the skull and one kind of stroke (ischemic stroke being the other).

  5. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_hemorrhage

    Intracranial hemorrhage is a serious medical emergency because the buildup of blood within the skull can lead to increases in intracranial pressure, which can crush delicate brain tissue or limit its blood supply.

  6. Encephalomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalomalacia

    Hemorrhage: Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in deep penetrating vessels and disrupts the connecting pathways, causing a localized pressure injury and in turn injury to brain tissue in the affected area. Hemorrhaging can occur in instances of embolic ischemia, in which the previously obstructed region spontaneously restores blood flow.

  7. Brain ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_ischemia

    Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.

  8. Cerebral vasospasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_vasospasm

    Cerebral vasospasm is the prolonged, intense vasoconstriction of the larger conducting arteries in the subarachnoid space which is initially surrounded by a clot.Significant narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain develops gradually over the first few days after the aneurysmal rupture.

  9. Internal bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_bleeding

    Internal bleeding (also called internal haemorrhage) is a loss of blood from a blood vessel that collects inside the body, and is not usually visible from the outside. [1] It can be a serious medical emergency but the extent of severity depends on bleeding rate and location of the bleeding (e.g. head, torso, extremities).
