`  ::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 3 articles: 1) strokea very well-developed article already, 2) intracranial hemorrhagecurrently not much more than a stub, and 3) 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.    `
