What Are the Causes of Intracranial Hemorrhage?
The most common cause of intracranial hemorrhage is trauma such as a head injury. Less commonly, it is caused by problems with abnormal blood vessels (arteries or veins) in the brain. These can include: • An arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which is an abnormal formation of blood vessels. • An aneurysm, which occurs when there is a balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.
