Intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) is a type of stroke that occurs when blood suddenly leaks into the brain tissue, or parenchyma. This condition is often caused by hypertension, arteriovenous malformation, or brain tumors. It can lead to severe damage in the brain, causing symptoms such as sudden headache, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.
Causes[edit]
The most common cause of IPH is hypertension, which can damage the small blood vessels in the brain over time. Other causes include arteriovenous malformation, a condition where the blood vessels in the brain are tangled and weak, and brain tumors, which can cause bleeding in the brain.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of IPH can vary depending on the location and size of the hemorrhage. Common symptoms include sudden severe headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and neurological deficits such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and loss of balance or coordination.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of IPH is typically made through a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. These imaging tests can show the location and size of the hemorrhage.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for IPH aims to stop the bleeding, remove the blood clot, and relieve pressure on the brain. This may involve medications to lower blood pressure and prevent further bleeding, and in some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the blood clot and relieve pressure on the brain.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for IPH can vary widely depending on the size and location of the hemorrhage, the patient's age and overall health, and how quickly treatment is received. Some people may recover with minimal neurological deficits, while others may have severe disability or even die from the condition.
