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.

What is the difference between a brain bleed and an aneurysm?

Hematoma is blood pooled outside the blood vessel, aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel.


A stroke occurs in the?

Heart, neck, or brain. It can also be a blood vessel


What stroke is damage that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures?

Hemorrhagic stroke.


Truth or false a hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks?

True. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures or leaks, leading to bleeding in or around the brain. This can result in increased pressure on brain tissues and can cause significant damage. The two main types of hemorrhagic strokes are intracerebral hemorrhages and subarachnoid hemorrhages.


Is a stroke a heart disease or disorder?

A stroke occurs when there is a blocked vessel in the brain. If there is a blockage, no oxygen will pass through, thus a stroke occurs. It's not a heart disease nor is it a disorder.


What is a swollen blood vessel in your brain?

A swollen blood vessel in the brain is called a brain aneurysm. It is a potentially life-threatening condition where a weakened area in a blood vessel in the brain balloons and fills with blood. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause a hemorrhagic stroke.


Causes of infarction in brain?

The most common cause of brain infarction is stroke, which is when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. A ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. A hemmorhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel breaks open, causing blood to leak into the brain. The risk of stroke increases with high blood pressure, age, family history, smoking, heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Drug and alcohol abuse, bleeding disorders, and head injuries can also cause bleeding into the brain.


Can a tooth infection cause an anurism?

aneurism is the dilation or weakening of the blood vessel usually occurs at the base of the brain and the heart.


How is Stroke caused?

Cerebral thrombosis is caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying the brain that occurs in the brain itself.Cerebral embolism is caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying the brain that forms elsewhere in the circulatory system that breaks free. It is commonly cause by atrial fibrillation.Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel within the brain itself breaks either from trauma or excess internal pressure.Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel at the brain surface just below the arachnoid membrane breaks either from trauma or excess internal pressure.


What is an anuerism?

A cerebral or brain aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease in which weakness in the wall of veins causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel. The bursting of an aneurysm in blood vessel can cause brain death.


When the blood flow to the brain is disrupted what type of stroke occurs?

When blood flow to the brain is disrupted, an ischemic stroke occurs. This type of stroke is typically caused by a blockage in a blood vessel, often due to a blood clot or atherosclerosis. It can lead to brain tissue damage due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize brain injury.


When does cerebral thrombosis occur?

Cerebral thrombosis occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms within the brain itself, blocking the flow of blood through the affected vessel.
