There are two types of stroke :
Hemorrhagic – occurs when a blood vessel leaks or a brain aneurysm (enlarged artery) bursts and blood flows into or around the brain, causing pressure.
Intracerebral hemorrhage is when the damaged vessel leaks blood directly into brain tissue, killing brain cells. In some cases, the hemorrhage occurs due to a genetic malformation of arteries and veins in the central nervous system (AVM, arteriovenous malformation). If this condition is appropriately diagnosed, it can be treated to prevent stroke.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when there is bleeding in the space between the brain and the surrounding tissues. This is usually caused by a burst aneurysm but can occur as the result of head injury or the use of blood-thinning medication.
Ischemic – caused by a blockage or blood clot in a blood vessel, cutting off blood
