  4. Types of hemorrhagic stroke • intracerebral hemorrhage • subarachnoid hemorrhage

  5. Worldwide statistics • WHO: 15 million people suffer a stroke each year • 5 million die • 5 million permanently disabled. • high blood pressure contributes to over 12.7 million strokes worldwide • Europe: approximately 650,000 stroke deaths each year • risk of stroke in blacks: almost twice that of whites • in developed countries incidence of stroke declining due to efforts to lower blood pressure and reduce smoking • overall rate of stroke high due to the aging of the population

  6. Causes • high blood pressure- hypertension (ICH) • trauma • infections • tumors • blood-clotting deficiencies • abnormalities in blood vessels (arteriovenous malformations) • Aneurysm (SAH) • accumulation of amyloid • drugs - cocaine

  9. Exams and tests • neurologic exam • CT scan • MRI • angiography • CBC • bleeding time • prothrombin/partial thromboplastin time(PT/PTT) • CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) examination

  10. Treatment • IMMEDIATE TREATMENT • SURGERY • LONG-TERM TREATMENT

  11. Possible complications • permanent loss of movement or sensation of a part of the body • joint contractures • muscle spasticity • permanent loss of cognitive or other brain functions • disruption of communication, decreased social interaction • decreased ability to function or care for self • decreased life span • urinary and respiratory tract infections
