Some of the most common causes and risk factors of brain hemorrhage are:
- Head trauma or injury – Injury is the most common cause of brain hemorrhage, especially in people below 50 years.
- High blood pressure –This chronic illness can cause blood vessel walls to weaken over time. Untreated high blood pressure is a primary cause of brain hemorrhages.
- Aneurysm – It is a condition where the wall of a blood vessel weakens and swells. It can rupture and bleed, resulting in a stroke.
- Anomalies of the blood vessels (Malformations of the arteries and veins) – Blood vessel abnormalities in and around the brain can be present at birth and not detected until symptoms appear.
- Amyloid angiopathy – It is a blood vessel wall abnormality that can emerge due to age or high blood pressure. Before creating a significant bleed, it may create a series of minor, undetectable bleeds.
- Bloodbor bleeding disorder –Both hemophilia and sickle cell anemia can cause a reduction in blood platelets and coagulation. Blood thinners can potentially put you in danger.
- Liver disease –This disorder is linked to an increase in overall bleeding.
- Braintumors
