Statistics indicate that 15% of all strokes are caused by hemorrhagic stroke when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to permanent damage. While all people with acute stroke benefit from treatment on a stroke unit, there is currently no specific treatment for hemorrhagic stroke and unfortunately many affected people will die within a few days.
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood from an artery begins bleeding into the brain. Pressure from the leaked blood damages brains cells, and, as a result, the damaged area is unable to function properly. Some symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body); confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding speech; trouble seeing by one or both eyes; trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; and severe headache with no known cause.
