A hemorrhagic stroke, which makes up only about 13% of stroke cases, occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain tissue.

There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke. Which kind you have is based on where the bleeding happens. Subarachnoid hemorrhage means it happened in the area between your brain and skull.

Sometimes called a brain attack, a hemorrhagic stroke is caused by blood vessels in the brain bursting or leaking, which increases pressure on brain cells and kills or damages them.
