A member asked:

What kind type or how hard of a trama to the head would cause u to bleed from brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: That my friend is the million dollar question. Sometimes the trauma is great and sometimes very little trauma will cause a bleed. Bleeds are increased with persons that take blood thinners. Most of the time the trauma is easily to discern, but sometime the bleed is latent and no cause can be found.
