What happens during the disease - subarachnoid haemorrhage, unspecified
Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the subarachnoid space, which is the area between the brain and the skull. blood from the ruptured vessel then accumulates in the subarachnoid space, leading to a decrease in blood flow to the brain and an increase in pressure on the brain tissue. this can cause a variety of symptoms, including headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, drowsiness, and a decrease in consciousness. in some cases, the cause of the rupture is unknown, but it can be caused by a weakened or ruptured aneurysm, a weakened or ruptured arteriovenous malformation, or a head injury.
