What is Subcortical Hemorrhage?
Subcortical hemorrhage refers to bleeding in the subcortical region of the brain. Causes include hereditary abnormalities of blood vessels in the brain, hypertension, and trauma. It is a type of stroke and is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

Diagnostic Questions for Subcortical Hemorrhage
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body?
- Do you have a headache?
- Do you have weakness in your arms or legs?
- Have you experienced partial loss of vision?
- Is your blood pressure 140mmHg or higher?
Treatment of Subcortical Hemorrhage
Subcortical hemorrhage requires immediate medical attention and hospitalization. Immediate treatment may involve relieving pressure built up in the brain due to the accumulation of blood from the bleed, stopping the bleed by sealing blood vessels, and/or medications to lower blood pressure. Rehabilitation, other therapies, and lifestyle modifications are required.
