Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have had high blood pressure for over a year. Now I don't dare to eat high-sodium, high-sugar, and high-fat foods, but I still feel very sad about the risk 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 most 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 basal ganglia region is the most common site of rupture. Of course, there are also intracerebral hemorrhages in other regions, such as thalamic hemorrhage and brainstem hemorrhage.
