Summary

hemorrhagic_stroke is bleeding into or around the brain. Major types are intracerebral_hemorrhage and subarachnoid_hemorrhage. Common causes include high_blood_pressure, ruptured aneurysm, and arteriovenous_malformation; anticoagulant_use raises risk. Typical clues are sudden_severe_headache, vomiting, focal deficits, and decreased consciousness. Diagnosis is usually by noncontrast_ct. Care is emergent, with attention to airway, blood_pressure_control, and anticoagulation reversal. Disability and mortality are high, so rapid recognition and transport are essential.
