==Overview==
'''Intra-axial hemorrhages''', or '''intra-axial hematomas''', are a subtype of [[intracranial hemorrhage]] that occur within the [[brain]] tissue itself. 
 
Intra-axial hemorrhages are potentially deadly because they can increase [[intracranial pressure]] and crush delicate brain tissue or reduce its blood supply, causing [[ischemia]].  The other category of intracranial hemorrhage is [[extra-axial hemorrhage]], such as [[epidural hematoma|epidural]], [[subdural hematoma|subdural]], and [[subarachnoid hematoma]]s, which all occur within the skull but outside of the brain tissue. 
 
There are two main kinds of intra-axial hemorrhages: [[intraparenchymal hemorrhage]] and [[intraventricular hemorrhages]].
