Summary
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a serious brain condition. It covers what it is, how it develops, how to spot it, and how to treat it.
What is subarachnoid hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a sudden, severe headache. It often comes from a burst aneurysm in the brain. It is a medical emergency.
How subarachnoid hemorrhage develops
Aneurysms form due to stress on artery walls. They often appear at artery branches. Size and blood pressure affect the risk of rupture.
Spotting subarachnoid hemorrhage
A CT scan is key to diagnosis. Symptoms include headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, and light sensitivity. Risk factors include family history, high blood pressure, and smoking.
Treating subarachnoid hemorrhage
Treatment depends on the patient's condition. Options include surgery to clip the aneurysm or reinforce it. Post-surgery care focuses on monitoring for complications.
