ExplanationAneurysm rupture is a form of hemorrhage outside the brain.
#2
What is the most common cause of intracranial bleeding?

ExplanationHigh blood pressure increases the risk of vessel rupture.
#3
What is the typical presentation of intracranial bleeding?
Sudden and severe headache
ExplanationAbrupt, intense headache is a common symptom.
#4
Which medication is commonly associated with an increased risk of intracranial bleeding?

ExplanationEpidural hematoma involves bleeding between the dura mater and skull.
#6
What is the leading cause of intracranial bleeding in infants?

It usually occurs due to a traumatic injury
ExplanationSubdural hematoma often results from head trauma.
#8
What imaging technique is commonly used to diagnose intracranial bleeding?
Computed tomography (CT) scan

#9
What is the primary treatment for intracranial bleeding?
Surgery
ExplanationSurgery is often necessary to evacuate blood and repair damage.
#10
Which of the following is a complication of intracranial bleeding?
Hydrocephalus
ExplanationAccumulated blood may obstruct cerebrospinal fluid flow, leading to hydrocephalus.
#11
Which of the following factors is NOT associated with an increased risk of intracranial bleeding?

#14
What is the mortality rate associated with untreated intracranial bleeding?
80-90%
ExplanationUntreated intracranial bleeding has a high mortality rate due to increased intracranial pressure.
#15
Which of the following statements about traumatic brain injury (TBI) and intracranial bleeding is true?
Intracranial bleeding is rare in TBIs
ExplanationIntracranial bleeding is less common in mild TBIs but can occur with severe trauma.
#16
Which of the following conditions is commonly associated with intracranial bleeding in older adults?
