Intracranial hemorrhage refers to bleeding that occurs within the skull, which can happen in various areas of the brain. This condition can result from trauma, such as a fall or car accident, or from medical issues like high blood pressure or aneurysms. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, weakness, or seizures, depending on the location and severity of the bleeding.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like CT scans or MRI to identify the source and extent of the hemorrhage. Treatment options vary and may include monitoring, medication, or surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the brain and prevent further complications.
