    This document discusses the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage. It begins by listing predisposing factors like age and genetics and precipitating factors such as excess alcohol, smoking, and comorbidities. It then explains the process as compromised artery walls that rupture within the brain, causing leakage of blood and hematoma formation. This increases intracranial pressure and decreases oxygen supply, potentially leading to complications or death without medical intervention.
