A cerebral hemorrhage is a bleed into the brain that may cause a stroke. The blood can damage nearby brain tissue.
There are four types of cerebral hemorrhage, describing where the bleeding actually occurs (i.e. whether inside the brain or between the brain and the membranes covering it).
One symptom of a cerebral hemorrhage is steadily increasing neurologic losses, such as weakness, paralysis, numbness, loss of speech or vision and confusion. Other symptoms include headaches, nausea, vomiting, seizures and loss of consciousness.
