  Cerebral haemorrhage - Better Health Channel.
Approximately one in 10 strokes is caused by cerebral haemorrhage.
Cerebral haemorrhage results in a collection of blood, which clots, putting pressure on nearby brain tissue and restricting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
A cerebral haemorrhage is bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.

  Apoplexy - LoveToKnow 1911
A small haemorrhage may not, however, cause an apoplectic fit, nor is an apoplectic fit always caused by haemorrhage; it may be due to sudden blocking of a large vessel by a clot from a distant part (embolism), or by a sudden clotting of the blood in the vessel itself (thrombosis).
Owing to the prevailing idea in former times that cerebral haemorrhage and apoplexy were synonymous terms, the word apoplexy was applied to haemorrhage into other organs than the brain; thus the terms pulmonary apoplexy, retinal apoplexy and splenic apoplexy were used.
Apoplexy seldom occurs under forty years of age, but owing to the fact that disease of the cerebral vessels may exist at any age, from causes which are fully explained in the article Neuropathology, no period of life is exempt; consequently cases of true apoplexy are not wanting even in very young children.

Cerebral arteriography may be used to determine the cause for bleeding, since some causes may be surgically corrected to reduce the risk of future bleeding.
The area near the Circle of Willis is a common spot for aneurysms: Small branches off the middle cerebral artery are so prone to burst that they are commonly known as "stroke arteries".

A brain haemorrhage which may be a subdural, extradural or a subarachnoid haemorrhage is a sudden leak of blood and is caused by the rupture of a weakened blood vessel known as a brain aneurism.
This condition is a medical emergency and often requires urgent surgical intervention which if carried out negligently causes damage that would otherwise not have occurred, then it may also be possible to recover compensation not only for any initial misdiagnosis and delay but also for subsequent negligent treatment and inadequate remedial surgery.

Streptokinase was associated with an excess of bleeds requiring transfusion (0.5% vs 0.2%) and of confirmed cerebral haemorrhage (0.1% vs 0.0%), but with fewer other strokes (0.6% vs 0.8%).
Aspirin significantly reduced non-fatal reinfarction (1.0% vs 2.0%) and non-fatal stroke (0.3% vs 0.6%), and was not associated with any significant increase in cerebral haemorrhage or in bleeds requiring transfusion.
These "other" strokes may have included a few undiagnosed cerebral haemorrhages, but still there was no increase in total strokes (0.7% streptokinase vs 0.8% placebo infusion).

Ischemic stroke is usually caused by atherosclerosis (fatty lumps in the artery wall), embolism (obstruction of blood vessels by blood clots from elsewhere in the body), or microangiopathy (small artery disease, the occlusion of small cerebral vessels).
As ischemic stroke is due to a thrombus (blood clot) occluding a cerebral artery, a patient is commenced on anticoagulant medication (aspirin and/or clopidogrel or warfarin, dependant on the cause) when this type of stroke has been demonstrated.

In cerebral haemorrhage, a blood vessel bursts in the brain, the heart’s pumping action squirts blood into brain tissue, producing a clot that kills cells and maybe presses on the brainstem.
Brain haemorrhage may happen if one of the brain’s blood vessels (among the body’s weakest) gets brittle, and bursts under abnormally high blood pressure, or when a weak spot in the wall of a vessel balloons out and bursts like a defective tire wall.
As with cerebral thrombosis, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and die.

 Why trends in stroke death in 20th century appeared different to death from heart disease
As both cerebral infarct and coronary heart disease are caused by atherosclerosis, they should have similar trends in death rates over time; however, researchers have not been able to look at the trends in the two different stroke types.
The ratio of cerebral infarct to cerebral haemorrhage increased fourfold from 0.5 in the 1930s to 2.0 by the 1990s; most of the increase took place between the 1930s and the 1970s.
Estimated trends suggested that there was a steady fall in death from cerebral haemorrhage throughout the 20th century, whereas death from cerebral infarct increased to a peak in the 1970s and then fell.
