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.
Causes of Hemorrhagic Stroke. While an intracranial hemorrhage may occur as a result of a severe head injury (such as might occur in a car accident), the two most common causes are related to abnormalities of the blood vessels themselves.
