Hemorrhagic Stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures (breaks open). The leaked blood puts too much pressure on brain cells, which damages them. High blood pressure and aneurysmsâballoon-like bulges in an artery that can stretch and burstâare examples of conditions that can cause a hemorrhagic stroke. There are two types of hemorrhagic strokes: Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke. It occurs when an artery in the brain bursts, flooding the surrounding tissue with blood. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a less common type of hemorrhagic stroke. It refers to bleeding in the area between the brain and the thin tissues that cover it.
The hemorrhage may also damage the brain directly, usually from bleeding into the brain itself. 1  This is called a âhemorrhagic stroke.â This can lead to: 2  weakness or paralysis of an arm or leg. 3  trouble speaking or understanding language. 4  vision problems. 5  seizures.
