What Is a Brain Bleed Event?
A brain bleed event is when there is a condition of bleeding in a person’s brain after a head trauma, accident, loss or car accident. It will usually occur when the person’s head has traumatically been hit, or hit something during an accident. There are many different types of brain bleeding situations, such as with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, that often is the result of a stroke (5% of the time) or from a ruptured aneurysm in the brain (fully 85% of the time).1 For this reason, it is critical that the healthcare personnel, primary care doctor or emergency room/department doctors diagnose a brain bleed for your emergency, to get the care you need to help save your life.

What Can Happen If a Doctor Misdiagnoses an Internal Brain Bleed After an Accident?
If a doctor does not identify and recognize an internal brain bleed on a person after an accident, then the individual may have many serious and dire consequences as a result of this missed diagnosis. After the brain starts to bleed in the skull, there is nowhere for the built up pressure to go, which can result in serious debilitating results including death. The medical condition of hydrocephalus can lead to a cognitive decline, neurological deterioration, enhanced bleeding, and other brain-related deficits, if it is not managed immediately after an accident.1 Although there are many tests that a doctor can use to determine if a brain bleed is present in a person after an accident, a computed tomography or CT scan is most often used to identify a brain bleed diagnosis on a person after an accident or loss. Additionally, the use of a magnetic resonance imaging or MRI is also useful to determine this type of diagnosis in a hospital or urgent care clinic setting. Once the brain bleed diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment for the condition may include a surgery to implant a shunt, drainage of the fluid building up in the brain, and other surgeries to relieve the pressure in the brain. The relief for the pressure on the brain needs to be attended to immediately upon the diagnosis of the confirmed brain bleed, and time will be of the essence to help anyone suffering from this condition, as the result of an accident, fall or car accident.
The Brain Can Develop Dangerous Micro-Bleeds When a Brain Bleed Is Not Properly Diagnosed
Cerebral microbleeds are a condition that can occur if a brain bleed is not properly diagnosed. A micro-bleed may also lead to other problems in the brain related to cerebrovascular diseases, poor cognitive functioning and can have serious consequences if misdiagnosed.2 Other complications related to a brain bleed can include brain edema, which can disrupt the natural flow of blood fluids to the brain, and can be the cause of increased intracranial pressures in the brain that can lead to a more serious brain injury, herniation, or death.
