A member asked:
Are having a blood clot removed & have pressure removed off your brain the same thing ? does it require the same procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If bleeding is present intracranially and continues, an increasing mass will create pressure on the neighboring nerve cells and connecting processes causing damage resulting in neurological dysfunction, and even death. Surgery is often required to decompress and remove this threat.
