Intracranial hemorrhages are incidents of bleeding within the skull, often caused by trauma, blood vessel anomalies, or clotting disorders. Symptoms may include severe headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures, weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and visual disturbances. Immediate medical evaluation and intervention are critical. Diagnosis typically involves CT scans or MRI, and treatment may include medications to control symptoms and surgery to remove the blood and repair damaged vessels. Preventive measures include managing blood pressure and avoiding head injuries.
