An intracranial hemorrhage is a type of stroke usually caused by falls in older adults. In detail, it consists of the accumulation of blood inside the skull, which can lodge in the brain tissue or under the skull, which ultimately produces pressure on the brain.
In general, these types of injuries occur due to rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. However, it can also arise from head trauma, such as a car accident or one drop.
After what happened with Lula, these types of injuries are in the center of focus. It should be noted that an intracranial hematoma can be fatal and usually requires urgent medical attention, which could include surgery to remove accumulated blood. Among the most common symptoms of this injury are:
- Headache that gets worse.
- Vomiting.
- Sleepiness and progressive loss of knowledge.
- Dizziness.
- Confusion.
- Pupils of different sizes.
- difficulty speaking.
- Loss of movement, known as paralysison the opposite side of the body where the head injury occurred.

- Feeling tired or drowsy.
