Question

.............. happens when bleeding occurs due to ruptured blood vessels in brain after a head injury.

• A. Intracranial hemorrhage
• B. Ischemia
• C. Transient Ischemic Attack
• D. Cerebral Edema

Hint:

Hemorrhage = active bleeding, Ischemia = lack of blood supply. Do not confuse these two.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the mechanism.
When there is trauma to the head, blood vessels in the brain may rupture. This leads to bleeding inside the cranial cavity, which is termed as intracranial hemorrhage.
Step 2: Exclude other options.
- (B) Ischemia: Means reduced blood supply to brain tissue, usually from blockage, not active bleeding.
- (C) Transient Ischemic Attack: A brief period of ischemia without permanent damage, not caused by ruptured vessels.
- (D) Cerebral Edema: Swelling due to fluid accumulation in brain tissue, not bleeding.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, bleeding after rupture of vessels in brain following head injury is called intracranial hemorrhage.
