Descripción general

La hemorragia subaracnoidea es el sangrado en el espacio entre el cerebro y la membrana que lo rodea (espacio subaracnoideo). El síntoma principal es el dolor de cabeza intenso y repentino. Algunas personas lo describen como el peor dolor de cabeza que hayan sentido. Además de tener un dolor de cabeza, algunas personas pueden experimentar:

  • Náuseas
  • Vómitos
  • Rigidez en el cuello
  • Problemas de la vista
  • Pérdida del conocimiento breve

El sangrado generalmente ocurre al romperse un bulto anormal en un vaso sanguíneo (aneurisma) en el cerebro. Algunas veces, el sangrado puede ser causado por un traumatismo, una maraña de vasos sanguíneos en el cerebro (malformación arteriovenosa) u otros problemas de salud o en los vasos sanguíneos.

Si no se trata, una hemorragia subaracnoidea puede causar un daño cerebral permanente o la muerte.
