Subarachnoid haemorrhage - what does this mean
Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by bleeding between the brain and the thin tissues that cover it. it usually occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the space between the brain and the skull, causing a sudden, severe headache.
What happens during the disease - subarachnoid haemorrhage
Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by bleeding between the brain and the thin tissues that cover it. this is usually caused by a ruptured aneurysm, which is a weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel that allows the artery to balloon out and eventually rupture. other causes can include trauma to the head, arteriovenous malformations, or a congenital vascular abnormality. the most common symptom is a sudden, severe headache, but other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, confusion, loss of consciousness, and seizures.
