Do they consider dying from a brain hemorrhage natural courses?

---

My husband passed away three months ago from a brain hemorrhage. I was left with a few unanswered questions and 1 of them is that on the death certificate they stated that he died of natural couses. It's that what is suppose to say?
Death by natural cause is basically any organic disease process, like a stroke, heart disease, cancer, or hemorrhage, so yes, it would be normal for the cause of death to be listed as "natural", even though that is a legal classfication as opposed to a scientific medical one. Sorry for your loss.  (+ info)

Can acute stress lead to something as serious as a brain hemorrhage?

---

I've been following the condition of rocker Bret Michaels after he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage a couple of days ago. I'd seen him on Celebrity Apprentice a couple of times, and knew he'd suffered from juvenile diabetes most of his life. And on one show he broke down after his daughter became ill, and then got word she might also have the condition. With his recent emergency appendectomy, complications, and him working at a faster pace than usual, could these things have combined to lead to a hemorrhage?

Can I have a brain hemorrhage and be alive still with no seizures?

---

Two years ago when I was swimming I hit my head hard and to this day I have pain in my sup occipital g and almost half of my brain. The only are not affected is the right side of my brain. The pains are so agonizing that I cry when I get one. I have painful headaches, change in vision, loss of cordination and balance which are some of the symptoms of a brain hemorrhage. But I don't have seizures so is it possible to have a brain hemorrhage and not have seizures?
The brain does not feel pain- pain only comes from structures around the brain.

It is possible that you are actually having seizures in your occipital region. A seizure in medical terminology does not automatically mean that you pass out and flail around, it means that you have uncontrolled electrical activity in your brain. Brain injury can definitely cause this kind of problem.

Also, it is possible that you have an unresolved subdural hematoma, or it is also possible that you have a migraine disorder. Bad muscular or nerve injury from the impact could also be at work. You definitely should go to a doctor about this since it is causing you so much trouble.  (+ info)

Anyone else know about venous angioma or petechial hemorrhage?

---

My 5 month old had a seizure and the MRI revealed a venous angioma and a petechial hemorrhage. We have Dr. Google'd these phrases and are seeing a specialist in Denver on Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone has more information?
The appearance of a petechial hemorrhage is not necessarily cause for alarm or panic, as it can be caused by a variety of factors. If the markings do not go away or they grow worse, however, it can be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition which requires attention. These markings can also indicate that someone is experiencing recurrent physical abuse.



Venous Angioma - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment


Definition

Venous angioma is also called venous malformation of the brain or development venous anomalies. It is a small tangle of abnormal veins. Venous angiomas are the most common brain vascular malformation, occurring in approximately 2 percent to 3 percent of people. In most cases, venous angiomas cause no signs or symptoms. They are often found incidentally on brain imaging studies, such as computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging done for some other reason. Skin growths, rashes and blemishes can often be a host of many different things. This is why it is important to recognize what type of skin disorder you may have and what treatments are available. Being armed with this knowledge will make it easier for you to select the appropriate treatment for yourself. Angioma refers to the overgrowth of blood vessels in the skin. These lesions that form are often benign and they can appear bluish in color. They can range in size from .1 to 3 centimeters.

Causes
The exact cause of venous angioma is not known. Yet there are some risk factors which seem to contribute in this disease.
They are thought to be nonhereditary i.e., they are not caused in you from your parents.
Venous angiomas are considered congenital anomalies i.e. persons are born with these lesions. They don't simply develop these in later life.
Most venous angiomas occur alone, while some are associated with other vascular malformations such as cavernous hemangiomas.
Symptoms
A typical cavernous angioma looks somewhat like a raspberry, but it can range in size from microscopic to inches in diameter.
It is made of multiple little bubbles (caverns) of various sizes, filled with blood and lined by a special layer of cells.
A cavernous angioma can cause seizures, stroke symptoms, hemorrhages, and headache.
Hemorrhage from a venous angioma is a very rare event. It is more likely to occur if the venous angioma is associated with a cavernous hemangioma.
Most venous angiomas are never detected unless the patient has a brain scan for another reason.
Sometimes Venous Angiomas may bleed or bother you. It is a severe condition and you need to have a medical consultation.
Treatment
Treatment for Venous Angioma is not recommended because it can be very complicated and also it could damage other parts of the brain if disturbed. Also treatment may lead to complications such as stroke.
If the venous angioma causes problem than some treatment can be done. Stereotactic radio surgery is an important option in this disease and hemorrhagic cavernous malformations. The procedure is relatively contraindicated in patients with concomitant venous angiomas because of the high incidence of post treatment morbidity.  (+ info)

Which part of the brain was damaged by the hemorrhage?

---

Bob, an elderly man with a history of TIAs, complained to his daughter that he had a severe headache. Shortly thereafter, he lapsed into a coma. At the hospital, he was diagnosed as having a brain hemorrhage.

How long does conjunctival hemorrhage take to lose redness?

---

I know that this can take up to two weeks to fully disappear (according to the internet). My doctor said a few days, but today would be my 3rd day of having it and it's still there. The redness isn't as deep in colour as originally, but it has grown down my eye and gotten a little bit lighter. I have to start my new job in a few days and want to know roughly if the redness should last much longer? Any ideas?
Both the internet and your doctor are right.
And you can see that it is already starting to get better.
It is a gradual process, like a bruise fading elsewhere in the body.  (+ info)

Conceive after an accidental hemorrhage?

---

Hi,
My wife had an accidental hemorrhage of baby before 3 months due to which baby was delivered in 9th month but was a dead one.We are again planning to conceive. Are there chances of any complications due to the previous accidental hemorrhage?
Thanks.

It may not be easy to tell what caused placenta abruptio. In fact, doctors can detect an exact cause in less than 5 out of 100 cases. Some causes (though rare) can include:
# abdominal trauma from an automobile accident or a fall
# sudden loss in size of the uterus, due to loss of amniotic fluid, or delivery of a first twin
# abnormally short umbilical cord

However, a woman is more at risk for this condition if she:
# has had this condition before

This condition is usually an emergency and requires treatment right away. Measures will be taken to keep the mother and infant healthy. This might include:
# immediate and continuous internal fetal monitoring of the infant
# IV fluids
# monitoring of vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and urine output
# "watchful management" if the fetus is not in distress, the mother's vital signs are stable, and labor is not in motion. Some small abruptios will stop bleeding on their own.
# vaginal delivery if the infant and mother are stable
# cesarean section if the mother and infant are unstable
# blood transfusion if signs of shock are present

What are the side effects of the treatments?

Because the treatments for this condition may be life-saving, the potential side effects should be weighed against the loss of life. It may take longer for a woman to recover from major abdominal surgery involved in a cesarean section. Risks for any surgery include bleeding, infection, and allergic reaction to the anesthesia.
What happens after treatment for the condition?

After delivery, the woman will be watched closely for signs of continued bleeding. This entails monitoring frequent CBC's, evaluating clotting times, and watching vital signs. The surviving infant will likewise be observed in the intensive care unit.
How is the condition monitored?

If a woman is pregnant and develops any of the signs of this condition, she should call her doctor right away.
# has preeclampsia, which is a condition that develops during pregnancy as a result of hypertension
# has eclampsia, which is toxemia during pregnancy that becomes severe
# has chronic high blood pressure
# is older
# has uterine distension from multiple pregnancies, or an excess of amniotic fluid
# has had more than four children
# has diabetes
# has other medical conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus
# smokes cigarettes
# has more than 14 alcoholic drinks per week
# uses cocaine
# has a history of an attempted internal version, a procedure in which the obstetrician tries changing the baby's position from breech to head first

What are the long-term effects of the condition?

This condition can result in:
# the death of the mother
# the death of the fetus
# excessive bleeding leading to shock
# a serious generalized bleeding problem called disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, or DIC
# kidney failure, also known as renal failure
# a liver disease called transfusion hepatitis
# low muscle tone, called uterine atony, with continued bleeding
# premature delivery, birth trauma, and risks associated with prematurity

However, these results are rare. Maternal death occurs in less than 5 out of 100 women who have placenta abruptio. Fetal death rates are higher. The infant may die in as many as 20 to 35 percent of cases.
What are the risks to others?

This condition can be harmful to the fetus. The woman also has a higher risk of developing this condition during future pregnancies  (+ info)

Is the second delivery harder after postpartum hemorrhage from the first one?

---

I gave birth to my first born 6 months ago and I had postpartum hemorrhage which was life threatening to me. I'm okay now but im always scared that maybe the second time I might not be so fortunate. My husband are not planning to have another child yet but the thought of losing my life scares me for the sake of my son!!
I will be talking to my doctor before my husband and I decide to have another kid.
Ok now my second child was much harder than the first. Each baby will do its own thing. But this time around your dr should be looking for things like that since it has happend before. And i would defanitly talk to your dr before you decide you want to try again just to see if it is going to be ok. Or maybe there is something you can do to prevent this problem from happening again. I didnt hemorrage but i did almost die when i had my daughter almost lost my bp not good when you are in labor. But like i said before i would talk with the dr and make sure before i decided to have my next baby. Good luck!  (+ info)

How long after a brain hemorrhage has occurred should you wait before flying?

---

Please note that this is just a general question. I definitely have not had a hemorrhage, and would ask my Doctor if I had.
Ask your doctor. That is a question that can not be answered without knowing your medical history, and what medications you are on.  (+ info)

Has anyone has had a small subchoronic hemorrhage inferior to sac on their u/s?

---

I am 7 weeks pregnant and have had a small amount of bright red spotting. I had an u/s yesterday and they found a heartbeat! But on the report it noted a small subchorionic hemorrhage inferior to the sac. My doctor said this is what likely caused my bleed. But has anyone had this and still had a healthy pregnancy? Im worried it will end in miscarriage.
My sister had this with her last pregnancy and I'm pleased to announce that my niece is almost 15 months now and doing great! So yes, this can still be a healthy pregnancy. Be sure to take any precautions the doctor gave you (no sex, bed rest, no lifting,etc...whatever they said) and be extra careful!

Hugs and Prayers for a healthy delivery!!!!  (+ info)
