Hi,



Thank you for posting your query.



Brain hemorrhage is a serious disorder with mortality rates (the chances of death) close to 30%.



However, the chances depend on the size and location of hemorrhage, as well as the age of patient. With good treatment, majority of people with brain hemorrhage survive.



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
