Dr. Huang Shichang
Intracranial hemorrhage seen on brain CT is generally caused by head trauma, hypertension, or intracranial vascular lesions. The main types of intracranial hemorrhage include epidural, subdural, and intracerebral hemorrhage. In patients with hypertension, emotional excitement, anxiety, or fatigue can lead to elevated blood pressure, which may result in cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebrovascular lesions leading to vessel rupture may be caused by various factors, including cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous hemangiomas, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
