From: Vascular disruption and blood–brain barrier dysfunction in intracerebral hemorrhage
Etiology | Proposed mechanism underlying hemorrhage |
---|---|
Hypertension | Vascular remodeling, formation microaneurysms. |
Amyloid angiopathy | β-amyloid induced vascular damage. |
Ateriovenous malformations | Weakened vascular wall. |
Cerebral cavernous malformations | Weakened vascular wall. |
Anti-coagulant usage | Loss of coagulation in response to bleeding (microbleeds). |
Ischemic stroke* | Ischemia/reperfusion induced vascular injury |
Traumatic brain injury* | Physical disruption of vessels |
Tumors* | Abnormal vasculature |
