What are the complications if you have a brain bleed?

When the aneurysm leaks or bursts open, blood flows into or around the brain. The pooling blood irritates brain tissue, which can make the brain swell. The result can be permanent brain damage, stroke or other complications such as:

• Vasospasm, when blood vessels get narrower and less oxygen reaches the brain.
• Hydrocephalus, a buildup of spinal fluid around the brain, sometimes called “water on the brain,” that puts pressure on the brain.
• Coma, when you lose consciousness for several days to weeks.
• Hyponatremia, when the blood’s sodium level changes, which can make brain cells swell and cause brain damage.
• Seizures, or muscle convulsions, which can cause further brain damage.
