Apex Multispeciality Hospital : Kopar Khairane
Brain Haemorrhage Treatment in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai
A brain haemorrhage is bleeding inside or around the brain, caused by injury, high blood pressure, a burst blood vessel (aneurysm) or other conditions. It is a medical emergency. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, brain haemorrhage is treated 24/7 by neurosurgeons and neurologists, with ICU monitoring and surgery when needed.
A sudden, severe ‘worst ever’ headache that peaks within seconds or minutes can be a sign of bleeding in the brain. So can a headache with a stiff neck, fever, confusion, weakness, a fit or loss of vision. Call +91 85912 35064 or 108, or come to the 24/7 Emergency department. |
Types of brain haemorrhage
- Intracerebral haemorrhage: bleeding into the brain, often from high blood pressure
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage: bleeding around the brain, often from a burst aneurysm, causing a sudden severe headache
- Subdural haematoma: bleeding under the brain’s covering, usually after injury, sometimes slowly in older people
- Extradural haematoma: bleeding between the skull and covering after a head injury
Symptoms
- Sudden severe headache
- Weakness or numbness on one side
- Confusion, drowsiness or loss of consciousness
- Vomiting
- Fits
- Problems with speech or vision
Treatment at Apex
- Emergency stabilisation, breathing support and blood pressure control
- Brain scan to confirm the type and size of bleeding [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: CT access]
- Reversing blood thinners where relevant
- Monitoring in the ICU
- Surgery to remove a clot or relieve pressure, such as craniotomy or craniectomy, or a burr hole for some subdural bleeds
Aneurysm treatment
A burst aneurysm needs specialised treatment, either surgical clipping or endovascular coiling. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: whether aneurysm clipping is done at Apex; coiling usually needs a neuro-interventional centre, so state the referral pathway]
Recovery
Recovery depends on the size and location of the bleeding and how quickly treatment started. Rehabilitation with physiotherapy, and support for speech and daily activities, helps patients regain function.

Frequently asked questions
Is brain haemorrhage the same as stroke?
A brain haemorrhage is one type of stroke, called a haemorrhagic stroke. It can also happen after a head injury.
Does every brain haemorrhage need surgery?
No. Many are treated with blood pressure control and monitoring. Surgery is needed for larger bleeds or when pressure on the brain is rising.
What causes brain haemorrhage?
Common causes include uncontrolled high blood pressure, head injury, aneurysms and blood-thinning medicines.
Can a person fully recover from brain haemorrhage?
Some people recover well, especially with smaller bleeds and quick treatment. Others have lasting effects and need rehabilitation.
