Is a brainstem hemorrhage serious?
Brainstem hemorrhage is a type of cerebral hemorrhage, occurring within the brainstem, which is the central hub of human life. Thus, once a brainstem hemorrhage occurs, the condition becomes extremely complicated and severe, with very high mortality and disability rates. Clinically, brainstem hemorrhages of less than three milliliters have a mortality rate close to 70%. Those exceeding five milliliters have a mortality rate close to 90%, and hemorrhages over ten milliliters are invariably fatal. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in brainstem hemorrhages, affecting younger populations. This is mainly due to high work stress, uncontrolled diet, lack of exercise, and notably, a lack of awareness and attention to hypertension among young people, which ultimately leads to brainstem hemorrhage. Brainstem hemorrhage is a very dangerous disease.
