Subarachnoid haemorrhage from vertebral artery - what does this mean
Subarachnoid haemorrhage from vertebral artery is a type of stroke caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, usually in the vertebral artery. this can cause bleeding into the subarachnoid space, the area between the brain and the skull, resulting in severe neurological symptoms.
What happens during the disease - subarachnoid haemorrhage from vertebral artery
Subarachnoid haemorrhage from the vertebral artery is caused by a rupture in the arterial wall, resulting in the leakage of blood into the subarachnoid space. this is usually due to the weakening of the arterial wall caused by a combination of long-term hypertension, atherosclerosis, aneurysm, and trauma. the haemorrhage can cause serious neurological damage and even death if left untreated.
