Intracerebral hemorrhage classification
Introduction
Overview
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
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
