The treatment of hemorrhagic stroke aims to stop bleeding, and to remove blood which might lead to swelling and increased pressure inside the brain.
Below are the two most common causes of hemorrhagic strokes and their treatments
Ruptured Aneurysm
Aneurysms are weak portions along the wall of a blood vessel which balloon out until they rupture. Aneurysms usually rupture because of high blood pressure. Ruptured aneurysms require brain surgery to repair the damaged blood vessel.
Abnormal Brain Blood Vessels
Examples of these include arterio-venous malformations or AVMs, and cavernous malformations. Typically these are blood vessels that are connected to one another in an abnormal way that causes them to bleed into the brain. When these abnormal vessels bleed into the brain, surgery is often needed to remove the abnormal blood vessels.
