In medicine, a stroke in which a blood vessel
bursts in the brain, caused by factors such
as high blood pressure combined with
hardening of the arteries (an aneurysm), or
chronic poisoning with lead or alcohol. It
may cause death or damage parts of the brain,
leading to paralysis or mental impairment.
The effects are usually long-term and the
condition may recur.
