Detailed explanation-1: -An intracranial hematoma is a collection of blood within the skull. It’s usually caused by a blood vessel that bursts in the brain. It may also be caused by trauma such as a car accident or fall.
Detailed explanation-2: -An intracerebral brain hemorrhage (ICH) is bleeding in the brain caused by the rupture of a damaged blood vessel in the head. As the amount of blood increases, the build-up of pressure can lead to brain damage, unconsciousness or even death. ICH affects people of all ages.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three major types of traumatic intracranial hematomas: (1) subdural, (2) epidural, and (3) intracerebral hematomas. Each of these lesions has characteristic clinical and CT scan findings, which can be present on admission to the hospital or can occur in a delayed fashion.
Detailed explanation-4: -A type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain or on the surface of the brain leaks or breaks open, causing bleeding in or around the brain. This leads to swelling and pressure, which can damage cells and tissue in the brain.
