    The Hunt and Hess scale, introduced in 1968, is one of the grading systems used to classify the severity of a subarachnoid hemorrhage based on the patient's clinical condition. It is used as a predictor of patient's prognosis/outcome, with a higher grade correlating to lower survival rate.

  4. Arachnoiditis - Wikipedia

    Chemical causes include morphine, [10] myelograms with oil-based radiographic contrast agents, [10] phenolic solutions, [11] chlorhexidine, [12] epidural injection of steroids and antibiotics, [5] blood in subarachnoid hemorrhage, [13] epidural blood patches and anesthetics.

  5. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    Trauma is the most common cause of intracranial hemorrhage. It can cause epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Other condition such as hemorrhagic parenchymal contusion and cerebral microhemorrhages can also be caused by trauma. [3]

  6. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    For spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage seen on CT scan, the death rate is 34–50% by 30 days after the injury, [22] and half of the deaths occur in the first 2 days. [51] Even though the majority of deaths occur in the first few days after ICH, survivors have a long-term excess mortality rate of 27% compared to the general population. [ 52 ]

  7. Cerebral edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_edema

    Cerebral edema is commonly seen in a variety of brain injuries including ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, subdural, epidural, or intracerebral hematoma, hydrocephalus, brain cancer, brain infections, low blood sodium levels, high altitude, and acute liver failure.

  8. Brain ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_ischemia

    The broad term, "stroke" can be divided into three categories: brain ischemia, subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain ischemia can be further subdivided, by cause, into thrombotic, embolic, and hypoperfusion. [3] Thrombotic and embolic are generally focal or multifocal in nature while hypoperfusion affects the brain globally.

  9. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    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. It is more likely to result in death or major disability than ischemic stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage, and therefore constitutes an immediate medical emergency.
