What could cause a re-bleed in an ischemic stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stroke: Stroke is a disruption of blood supply to an area of the brain, resulting in injury to a portion of the brain. This affects the blood vessels as well, as the surrounding supporting tissue is injured and becomes fragile. The increased fragility of these vessels can cause spontaneous bleeding.
