Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Sara Mehrsefat, M.D. [2]
Overview
Based on the location and size of the bleeding, intracerebral hemorrhage may be classified into intraparenchymal hemorrhage, Intraventricular hemorrhage, and cerebral microbleeds.[1][2][3]
Classification
Intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding within the brain itself. This category includes:[1][2][3]
- Intraparenchymal hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain tissue)
- Intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain’s ventricles)
- Cerebral microbleeds
