Bleeding in the brain is also referred to as a brain hemorrhage. A brain bleed, also known as an intracranial hemorrhage, is a medical disorder. It’s a medical emergency that needs to be dealt with right away. Because the skull surrounds the brain, any leaking blood from bleeding can pressure and harm the brain tissues. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood artery in the brain leaks or breaks, causing bleeding. Hemo is the Greek word for blood. “Blood bursting forth” is the exact definition of hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhages, intracerebral hemorrhages, and intracranial hemorrhages are all terms used to describe brain hemorrhages. They account for roughly 13% of all strokes.
