A stroke is a medical emergency caused by the interruption of blood supply to a part of the brain, resulting in loss of oxygen to those brain cells. The two main types of strokes are intracerebral strokes and ischemic strokes. An intracerebral stroke occurs when an artery within the brain bursts and releases blood into the surrounding brain tissue. Because of the increased pressure from the blood, the brain cells in this area die. This type of stroke can quickly cause permanent damage to the areas of the brain deprived of blood flow and is considered one of the most severe types of stroke. Intracerebral strokes can cause life-threatening bleeding in the brain known as a hemorrhagic stroke. Intracerebral strokes can be caused by a number of different medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and a weakened blood vessel in the brain. Aneurysms, a bulge in an artery, are also a common cause of intracerebral strokes. The risk of suffering from an intracerebral stroke increases with age. Symptoms of an intracerebral stroke include numbness on one side of the body, weakness or paralysis of a hand, arm, or leg, confusion, disorientation, vertigo, and headache. In some cases, the patient may experience loss of vision, difficulty speaking, and even a coma. As with other types of stroke, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to help avoid further damage. Treatment for intracerebral stroke can include medications to reduce inflammation, decrease pressure in the brain, and improve blood flow. Surgery can also be used to remove the clot or damaged blood vessel. In some cases, physical therapy is used to help the patient regain movement and improve muscle control. An intracerebral stroke is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
