If you get a cut, for example, you know you need a Band-Aid to stop the bleeding. But hitting your head is less obvious. How can you know if your brain was impacted or not when you can’t see it?
If a brain bleed is not treated quickly, it can lead to permanent damage, including memory loss, difficulty swallowing and speaking, coordination challenges, numbness or weakness in body parts ...
Intraparenchymal hemorrhage can be recognized on CT scans because blood appears brighter than other tissue and is separated from the inner table of the skull by brain tissue. The tissue surrounding a bleed is often less dense than the rest of the brain because of edema, and therefore shows up darker on the CT scan. [30]
The bleed can be very small without any significant effect on surrounding brain or large hemorrhage that exerts mass effect on adjacent brain. Follow up CT scan is recommended. Those with extension of bleed into the ventricular system, expansion of bleeding, or increasing cerebral oedema on CT scan gives poorer prognosis. CT angiography (CTA ...
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), also known as intraventricular bleeding, is a bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the subarachnoid space. It can result from physical trauma or from hemorrhagic stroke.

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation reports that 1 in 50 people in the U.S. has an unruptured or intact aneurysm (an aneurysm in the brain that is not bleeding). However, the annual rate of an aneurysm ...
A CT scan is the best test to look for bleeding in or around your brain. In some hospitals, a perfusion CT scan may be done to see where the blood is flowing and not flowing in your brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan): A special MRI technique (diffusion MRI) may show evidence of an ischemic stroke within minutes of symptom onset. In ...
