CAUSES OF HEMORRHAGIC STROKES
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a major risk factor for hemorrhagic strokes.
In older persons, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (a condition that weakens blood vessels in the brain) can lead to hemorrhagic strokes.
Aneurysms (tiny blood-filled pouches that balloon out from weakened areas on blood vessel walls) are prone to leaking or bursting.
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations are clumps of interconnected abnormal blood vessels that are present from birth and can bleed later in life.
Blood vessels in brain tumors may be prone to bleeding.
