Hemorrhagic Stroke

A hemorrhagic stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel inside the brain ruptures and blood accumulates in the brain tissue, disrupting its normal functioning. Because of its severity, it requires immediate attention.

Warning signs: Sudden, severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, vision changes, or loss of consciousness. With these signs you should go to the emergency room immediately.

Associated factors: High blood pressure and other conditions that affect the blood vessels are linked to a higher risk.

Which specialist treats it? In the acute phase the emergency physician is involved, and the neurologist and internist take part in the evaluation and follow-up. Recognizing the symptoms in time and seeking care without delay can make a difference.
