Serious Symptoms Of A Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

A subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening type of stroke, occurs when there's bleeding in the brain. When this hemorrhage occurs, blood pools in the space between the brain and the membrane surrounding the brain tissue, otherwise known as the subarachnoid space. The bleeding is usually caused by a ruptured aneurysm in the brain. It can also sometimes be caused by abnormal blood vessel formations in the brain, a traumatic impact, or other health issues. If not treated immediately, this hemorrhage can cause permanent brain damage, permanent disability, and death.
