Hemorrhage into cerebral stroke

Neurological involvement in Behcet s disease may be subclassified into two major forms a vascular-inflammatory process with focal or multifocal parenchymal involvement and a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with intracranial hypertension. The vasculitis and meningitis may affect cerebral arteries, particularly in the posterior circulation, to cause ischemic stroke and possibly intracranial hemorrhage (Farah et al. 1998 Krespi et al 2001 Siva et al. 2004 Borhani Haghighi et al. 2005).

Atrial myxoma is a rare atrial tumor that causes multiple emboli of either thrombus or myxomatous tissue. When myxomatous material is embolized from the left atrium into the brain arteries, they may cause the formation of multiple distal cerebral aneurysms with risk of hemorrhage [46]. Papillary fibroelastomas are rare benign cardiac tumors usually involving a heart valve. They are small vascular growths with marked papillary projections. They usually grow on the aortic or mitral valves. The tumor consists of fibrous tissue surrounded by an elastic membrane, which in turn is covered by endothelium. One of the most conunon clinical presentations is of transient ischemic attack or stroke [47,48]. 

Intracranial aneurysms, also known as brain or cerebral aneurysms, are balloon-like bulges in the arteries in the brain and are caused by a weakening of the vessel. If ruptured, bleeding into the brain will occur, leading to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which can in turn lead to hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, and death. Approximately 2% of the population will develop an intracranial aneurysm with a rupture rate of 0.7% [51].
