Pediatric intracranial hemorrhage
Postoperative intracranial hemorrhage
Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage
Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage
An intracranial hematoma may occur because the fluid that surrounds your brain can't absorb the force of a sudden blow or a quick stop. Then your brain may slide forcefully against the inner wall of your skull and become bruised.
Although some head injuries — such as one that causes only a brief lapse of consciousness (concussion) — can be minor, an intracranial hematoma is potentially life-threatening and often requires immediate treatment.
An intracranial hematoma often requires surgery to remove the blood. However, a smaller intracranial hematoma may not require surgery.
The other category of intracranial hemorrhage is:
Intracranial Subdural hematoma
Intracranial Epidural hematoma
Subarachnoid hemorrhage, which all occur within the skull but outside of the brain tissue.
