What happens during the disease - intracerebral (nontraumatic) haemorrhage of fetus and newborn

Intracerebral (nontraumatic) haemorrhage of fetus and newborn is a condition in which bleeding occurs within the brain of a fetus or newborn. this type of haemorrhage can be caused by a variety of factors including birth-related trauma, infection, or an underlying medical condition. in some cases, the cause is unknown. it is believed that the bleeding occurs due to a disruption in the normal development of the blood vessels in the brain, causing them to become weak and more prone to rupture. this can lead to the accumulation of blood in the brain, leading to increased pressure and potentially causing damage to the brain tissue.
