Intracerebral hemorrhage

Alternative Names:
Intracranial hemorrhage; Hemorrhage - intracerebral; Hypertensive hemorrhage

Prevention:

Treatment and control of causative and risk-related disorders may reduce the risk of developing intracerebral hemorrhage. High blood pressure should be treated. Do not stop taking medications unless advised to do so by your health care provider.

Known vascular malformations such as an aneurysm can often be treated before they cause bleeding in the brain.
