Subarachnoid haemorrhage from posterior communicating artery - what does this mean
Subarachnoid haemorrhage from posterior communicating artery is a type of stroke caused by a rupture of the posterior communicating artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery, resulting in bleeding into the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid and pia mater layers of the meninges. this can cause a sudden, severe headache, seizures, and neurological deficits.
What happens during the disease - subarachnoid haemorrhage from posterior communicating artery
Subarachnoid haemorrhage from posterior communicating artery is caused by the rupture of an aneurysm in the posterior communicating artery, which is a branch of the internal carotid artery. this rupture causes blood to leak into the subarachnoid space, which is the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater. the accumulation of blood in this space can cause a great deal of pressure on the brain, leading to symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and decreased level of consciousness.
