A hemorrhagic stroke relates to your brain. Strokes can occur in large or vast amounts (small usually referred to mini stroke). Strokes all take place in the brain. Some people usually think strokes are heart related.

What is also known as a bleed occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks?

It's called cerebral hemorrhage, the previous answer "cerebral aneurysm" refers to a dilation of a portion of an artery, the muscular tissue is thinner than a normal artery, so it's prone to rupture and can cause cerebral hemorrhage. I think the answer they are looking for is a hemorrhagic stroke. Both terms can be used interchangeably.
