Types of Brain Hemorrhages

An injury to the head can cause the blood vessels inside of the skull to tear or rupture, allowing blood to leak inside the skull. The pressure inside the skull increases as this blood pools. A person can suffer severe brain damage as a result. This brain damage can eventually lead to death in some cases. However, these injuries can be significantly lessened if a physician acts quickly to treat a patient.

If you have suffered a brain hemorrhage that was not treated correctly or timely by a medical professional, we can help you to pursue financial compensation for the resulting damages. Contact the New Jersey medical malpractice attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529 for more information regarding your legal rights and options.

Brain Damage and Brain Injury

Brain damage that results from a serious injury to the head can stem from a burst blood vessel around the brain. Depending on the type of injury, a person may sustain a different kind of hemorrhage. In many cases, these hemorrhages occur outside of the brain. These injuries include the following types of brain hemorrhages:

  • Epidural hemorrhage
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • Subdural hemorrhage

The following types of hemorrhages occur inside the brain tissue itself:

  • Intraventricular hemorrhage
  • Intraparenchymal hemorrhage

In either situation, these bleeds can drastically increase the pressure inside the skull over time. As a result, a person may fall into a coma and develop permanent brain damage. A physician needs to diagnose these injuries quickly and to perform treatment immediately.
