The distinction between brain hemorrhage and hemorrhagic stroke or brain ischemia and ischemic stroke is insignificant for many physicians and most patients One does not have a stroke without either ischemia or hemorrhage and one does not have ischemia or hemorrhage without experiencing a stroke  Neurologists even use the term stroke when looking at a CT scan which technically shows only ischemia or hemorrhagethe cause of the stroke not the stroke itself  On merging I think stroke could be covered adequately in  articles  strokea very welldeveloped article already  intracranial hemorrhagecurrently not much more than a stub and  cerebral ischemiaalso only a stub  Actually cerebral ischemia is covered more thoroughly in the main stroke article than in cerebral ischemia This page cerebral hemorrhage needs to merge into intraparenchymal hemorrhage which lists intracerebral hemorrhage as a synonym Some kind of large merging project needs to take place here and the hierarchy of terminology needs to be clarifiedstroke hemorrhagic or ischemic intracerebral hemorrhage subarachnoid hemorrhage subdural hemorrhage intraventricular hemorrhage intraparenchymal hemorrhage lobar hemorrhage aneurysm cerebral ischemia et cetera
