What Is a Hemorrhagic Stroke?
4. Causes
One of the potential causes of a hemorrhagic stroke is an arteriovenous malformation. This basically means that the patient’s blood vessels have not formed as they should do. It is a condition that people are born with, and it is not understood why it happens.
Another, somewhat more common cause is an aneurysm. This means that the patient’s blood vessels have expanded in the same way that a balloon would. This can happen because the patient’s blood vessels are weaker than they should be. It can also happen in people that have a high blood pressure in their brain’s blood vessels.
