Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have been suffering from high blood pressure for over a year. I am now afraid to eat high-sodium, high-sugar, and high-fat foods, but I still feel very sad about the possibility of a brain hemorrhage caused by hypertension. This disease is truly terrifying. Doctor, what are the common sites for hypertensive brain hemorrhage?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage, and the vast majority of patients have a history of hypertension. The most common vascular rupture in intracerebral hemorrhage is the rupture of the lenticulostriate arteries. The site of rupture caused by lenticulostriate artery rupture is commonly the basal ganglia region, leading to basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, the most common site of rupture is basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage. Of course, there are also intracerebral hemorrhages in other regions, such as thalamic hemorrhage and brainstem hemorrhage.
